Linda Ronstadt has completed 11 tracks for a Jazz album to be co-produced by John Boylan and George Massenburg, scheduled for release in May 2004.
The project will feature such top Jazz players as Alan Broadbent, Warren Bernhardt, David "Fathead" Newman, Bob Mann, Christian McBride, Lewis Nash, Roy Hargrove, and Joe Lovano.
Some songs rumoured to be included on this release are Jazz classics such as "Get Outta Town", "Never Will I Marry", and "Miss Otis Regrets".
The musical approach will be different from Linda's classic Nelson Riddle albums - instead of a large orchestra, she'll be accompanied by only 6 or 7 instruments. This album will be released on the Verve label. Linda has signed an extensive deal for a second Jazz album on Verve Records.
