WOMAN IN BLACK
The material contained on this album is a musical tale straight from classic ‘noir’ style.
This is a story of change from a girl to a self-confident young woman and great performing artist.
The classic vocals of Sasha Strunin and brilliant arrangements of Gary Guthman are a combination of Rhythm& Blues, Jazz and swing
with a modern sound. In fact, this is a musical spectacle, perfect for large concert halls to moody jazz clubs
