Jazz vocalist & double bassist Rebecca Peterson meets up with acclaimed jazz guitarist Rik Wright on Build Your Dreams, a 12 song CD of intimate and charming vocal/guitar arrangements of selections from the Great American Songbook. This release is perfect for the modern lite jazz aficionao, as Peterson's lovely vocals soar over Wright's snappy chords and tasty solo passages. Check out the duo's romp through "I Don't Know What Love Is", or their angelic take on "Don't Go To Strangers", with Wright's rippling jazz licks really stealing the show. Purists will love "My Funny Valentine" and "Nearness of You", as Rebecca's sultry vocals really hit the mark and offer proof that she is sure to become a new star on the scene. While Build Your Dreams might be a bit laid back for the hardcore fusion & prog audience, those into the mellower aspects of the jazz spectrum, and especially the current vocal/guitar craze, this should be right up your alley.
