reviews
Canadian chanteuse Diana Krall brought some welcome attention back to starry-eyed standards with last year's When I Look in Your Eyes, but one hardly need venture to the Great White North in search of classic American song craft. Cesar Chavez and Brazos is more like it where L.A. native Rebecca Ryan has been tickling the Four Seasons' ivories since 1997. Her brand-new CD, Stardust and Dreams, hits Arlen, Mercer, Carmichael, and the Gershwins for a softly lit suite of shimmering solo piano and slinky vocals. "The Very Thought of You," Embraceable You," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "One for My Baby" - how long has this been goin' on?

One night I walked into the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, TX and heard the sounds of the music that I grew up playing as a kid, with my mother, Bobbie Nelson. It instantly reminded me of listening to Stardust, Willie Nelson’s recordings of timeless classics he brought back to life in the 1980’s. Rebecca’s voice and piano playing made such an immediate impression, that we asked her to make a record for the Pedernales Records label, owned by Willie Nelson and myself. Today’s modern music very rarely has the arrangements, lyrics and melodies of the caliber found in these beautiful renditions. We hope you enjoy listening to Rebecca, as much as we enjoy preserving some of the most masterfully composed songs of our time.
