Somebody New is a CD of jazz standards and the first of many to come from the Stratford based Barbara Fulton. The music is as much about the arrangements and the musicians as it is about the startling agility of Barbara Fultons voice.
There are some fine jazz musicians here who should be mentioned:

With thanks:
The CD was recorded at the Swamp Studio in the wilds of rural Stratford. The principal engineer was the incredible Jay Riehl with the able assistance of Ryan Tuer and Dave Kalmusky. We can’t thank Jay and the boys enough for making it such a relaxed and professional experience.
