It is undisputable. The new best-kept secret (not for long) is the uber-gifted Becca Stevens. A recent graduate of the New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, this 24 year old singer songwriter fuses several styles, jazz to folk, into her own bewitching brew of rapturous sound. She is a master of stringed instruments, with a harmonic arsenal that includes the classical guitar, ukelele and the charango. She has performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival, NYC Jazz Fest and the San Francisco Jazz Festival. On her new release 'Tea By Sea,' she is backed by the Becca Stevens Band, an ensemble that includes accordionist-pianist Liam Robinson, the saxophonist-guitarist Colin Killalea, the bassist Chris Tordini and the drummer Tommy Crane. Every member of the band also backs her up on vocals, making every track bubble with ethereal harmonizations. You can check out this album @ http://cdbaby.com/cd/beccastevens.
