about

Circle Completing is a collection of some treasured jazz standards; a gutsy blues, “Little Red Rooster”, once performed by the legendary Sam Cooke and later by the Rolling Stones among others; a beautiful rendition of, “To Be With You”, made famous by singer Jimmy Sabater, formerly with the Joe Cuba Sextet (Gilberto Miguel Calderon), in 1957; three originals penned by McCarthy; “In The Early Morning Light”, a free improvised poetry piece; “Faith In Time”, a tribute to the great jazz vocal legend Jimmy Scott’ and, “Life Is A Song To Sing”, McCarthy’s inspiring and uplifting anthem. A special treat is the unexpected, “Ke Kali Nei Au…The Hawaiian Wedding Song”, sung with a prayer-like reverence, it is an homage to Nora’s three Hawaiian sons and her love of the music of Hawaii. Nora is accompanied this CD most intuitively by one of New York’s finest musicians, pianist, John DiMartino, who also played on McCarthy’s first CD, red&blue. Circle Completing is sung in the rich tradition reminiscent of the great balladeers from the early Jazz and Rhythm & Blues era that McCarthy grew up listening to fused with a modern approach and an eye to the future reflecting Nora’s current involvement and intrigue with their creative and free music art forms giving Circle Completing a contemporary feel. It is the progeny of that union. Nora’s original compositions, that gives Circle Completing its distinct voice and what makes her a unique and dynamic vocal artist in the world of jazz and creative music today.
