Erin Bode - Don't Take Your Time

Music is a wonderful way to communicate. This recording is a collection of some of my favorite songs. Each song has a special meaning to me. I grew up listening to some of the songs such as "Count Your Blessings", "Here, There And Everywhere" and "If It's Magic." "But Not For Me", "Gee Baby" and "I've Never Been In Love Before" are some of my favorite jazz standards.

The title track "Don't take Your Time" is an original, which I co-wrote with pianist Adam Maness, and you can also see us perform this song live in the studio on the CD-ROM, which is a part of this CD. In all, the words and music combined in this recording tell such beautiful stories and express some of the most fundamental human emotions I'm so happy to be able to share this music with you. I hope that you will love listening to the songs as much as I love singing them.
