Album Notes

Judie Tzuke Judie's successful and critically acclaimed career was launched in 1978 when her single For You reached the Top 40 in Britain. The following year, her hit Stay With Me Till Dawn - for Elton John's Rocket label, remained in the UK charts for 16 weeks. Subsequent appearances on the legendary show Top Of The Pops guaranteed her a place in the minds and ears of the British public. In June 2002, BBC Radio Two conducted a poll to determine the top fifty British songs of the past fifty years. Stay With Me Till Dawn was at No. 39. She has also co-written with Sir Elton John. Tzuke's influence on a new generation of British female singers is evident and her work with contemporary artists proves this artist is getting better with every step ahead. Judie's most recent venture is with the distinguished jazz quartet Project Grand Slam. The pairing of her sultry vocals with PGS's perfected chops on the remake The Captain Of Her Heart delivers an irresistible mood while giving this remake an air of romance and flirty sophistication. With an impressive 20 albums immortalized within her vast discography, Judie continues to augment and showcase her skills as a thriving recording artist. As the Holiday Season approaches, Judie has teamed with PGS pianist Haim Cotton to deliver the delicate and heartwarming original "Christmas And I'm Home". Two versions are available, one with a tender chorus of children heard in the final coda. Haim Cotton Haim Cotton of Project Grand Slam plays keyboards and composes.

For the past 20 years, this gifted artist has been teaching music at The New School with an ongoing commitment to recording and live performance.
