Lynn and I have been friends for more than 20 years and have always shared a musical connection. When we'd get together we would either be listening to music, talking about music, or I would be at one of her performances. I hadn’t seen Lynn in several years but had the opportunity to visit her in Seattle. While we were driving up to Whidbey Island she played this CD for me and from the very first track I was so caught up in the music I couldn't speak. Her choice of Marc Seales, Doug Miller and John Bishop as the rhythm section is perfect. She has chosen very passionate tunes and sings them with a deep understanding of the composer’s intent. Her interpretation is unique and compelling. She has so much to say. Lynn is more than a jazz singer, she’s a jazz musician and this CD reflects that. It is the culmination of lots of listening, lots of living, and lots of loving and gets better each and every time you listen to it. I can hardly wait to hear what she will do next!

The Northwest U.S. in general, and Seattle in particular, simply teems with outstanding jazz artists. Now comes vocalist Lynn Bush with her warm, contemporary approach to a play list of mostly familiar material. Bush and her confreres have turned out an album in which they share, in almost equal parts, the time allocated for this album to make each song their own. Marc Seales on piano, when relieved of the responsibility of providing understated backing for Bush's laid-back vocalizing, shows that he can turn out clusters of notes, ruminative runs, and sparkling gems of improvisation on "What a Way to Go" and "Like a Lover." Bush's voice is a marvel as it literally floats upon Seales' piano and Doug Miller's subtle bass as she puts her imprimatur on oft-played standards. "A Time for Love" in the hands of these performers becomes a memorable sonata for voice, piano, and bass. Bush's highly honed technical skills come through on "Dreamsville," which because of its quirky phrasing, is not easy to sing. Too often singer and accompanist can lose each other in the middle of this tune and it becomes a race to see who finishes first. Not so here as Bush and Seales show an innate musical intuition, handling it like they have been doing it forever. Sometimes the playing becomes truly surreal and the music seems as if its being sifted through a surreal haze as on "Lazy Afternoon." Bush is a true mistress of her art with her flawless diction and intonation. But more important, she is a singer who manages to give each tune a personal, intimate flavor in the manner of Jeri Southern and Irene Kral. Recommended.

Lynn Bush
Active Decade: '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Vocal Jazz
Born Mary Lynn Pickett, Lynn Bush first performed professionally as a backup singer with an R&B band in Oklahoma City in 1971. Within a few years, she was singing jazz at small clubs and piano bars, learning her craft and developing into a superior storyteller. Bush studied piano, classical vocal techniques, and audio production while attending the University of Central Oklahoma in 1980-1984, preferring to learn about jazz by performing with jazz musicians. She was a longtime radio producer on KSCS-FM but sang on an occasional basis, including guesting with Max Roach and Michael Wolff. Years passed as she raised a family and worked on the radio. In 1998, she moved to the West Coast and eventually Seattle, where she has been quite active as a jazz singer. Lynn Bush often teams up with the New Stories trio, and in 2004 finally made her recording debut with Still Life for the Origin label.
