While Lauren Kinhan is best known for her ongoing two-­‐decade tenure in the internationally renowned New York Voices, she has steadily established herself as a powerful composer in her own right. Following up on her acclaimed 2010 album Avalon, she offers an emotionally incisive and melodically enticing set of new songs on Circle In a Square on Dotted i Records. A poised and penetrating interpreter, Kinhan focuses on telling her own stories with songs seasoned by life. Contributions on the album included the likes of pianist Andy Ezrin, bassists Will Lee and David Finck, and drummer Ben Wittman, as well as from some of some of jazz's most evocative improvisers including Randy Brecker, Romero Lubambo, Donny McCaslin, Joel Frahm, and Gary Versace.

    Posted At: May 1, 2014 12:00 AM

    Over the years on Marketplace we've tried to cajole artists to talk business.

    You think you've got the lowdown on female singer/songwriters? Lauren Kinhan is going to give Lorraine Feather a run for her money for the award for clever lyricist. This lady from New York Voices either writes it all herself, or tams up with various composers for a collection of poignant and infectious tunes.
