Everything Old is New Again with Kat Gang
Recently, Kat Gang stopped in the WNYC studios to chat with us about her new album, Dream Your Troubles Away. Gang shared a little bit about the new record, "these tunes are old, they are classics from a bygone era....everything old is new again."
The songs on her latest release are undeniably "old" but, Gang's interpretations breathe new life into the time-tested jazz standards. Gang is supported on the album by an excellent backing band: Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), Mike Renzi (piano), Jay Leonhart (bass), John Allred (trombone), Harry Allen (sax), Warren Vache (trumpet) and Joe Ashione (drums).
This week on The Headliner, Mike Shobe talks with Gang about the process of reinventing these classic songs. In addition to the interview, you can preview the album with this week's free download, "Some of These Days."
