notes
With a smooth, expressive style and a repertoire all her own, Rosana Eckert is quickly gaining recognition as a dynamic jazz singer, composer, and arranger. Influenced by singers like Shirley Horn, Chet Baker, and Carmen McCrae as well as players like Stan Getz, John Coltrane, and Oscar Peterson, Rosana draws listeners in with a sincere approach to lyrics and an instrumentalist's approach to scatting.
In 1992, Rosana was an accomplished French Horn player pursuing a degree in music theory from the University of North Texas. Within a few years, she was immersed in the school's world renowned jazz program, playing her horn in the Jazz Repertory Ensemble and singing in the award-winning UNT Jazz Singers. By 1999, Rosana had completed a Masters degree in Jazz Studies as a vocalist and had become a member of the UNT jazz faculty.
Rosana has since been making a name for herself as a jazz singer, composer, arranger, and educator. In addition to touring with the 1999 IAJE "Sisters in Jazz" Collegiate Sextet, she was selected to participate in the 2000 IAJE Thelonious Monk Jazz Colony where she sang with and was mentored by many great jazz artists including Dianne Reeves, Christian McBride, and Russell Malone. Her arrangements for vocal jazz ensemble have been performed by groups throughout the U.S. and Canada, and she has developed a solo repertoire of original songs and contemporary arrangements. Most recently, she was an invited performer at the 2004 IAJE Annual Conference in New York City.

It is professional, lyrical, exciting and soothing. A great gift for those pers
author: Gabriel B. MeadowsIf one were to combine the gifts of Ella, Nancy Wilson and Shirley Horn, you'd have what this lady is about to become. Step asside; here she comes. Buy it. If you don't like it, I'll buy it back and give it to your heirs--you've got to be dead.
