The new project, “Uncovered Soul” has a World Wide release date of September 7th, 2017 on Membran (Must Have Jazz)

In “Uncovered Soul” (Must-Have Jazz/Membran, Spring 2017), Kosins( ASCAP awarded composer & lyricist) teams up with Kamau Kenyatta, the stellar long time producer of Gregory Porter, she will re-unite with her soulful and groove skills. A contrast to her previously released and highly acclaimed album, To the Ladies Of Cool“, "Uncovered Soul" follows in the footsteps of Kamau Kenyatta’s three Grammy nominated, Gregory Porter projects. The Grammy nominated CD “Water,” the Grammy nominated single, “Real Good Hands,” from the CD “Be Good” and the Grammy Award winning CD “Liquid Spirit.” “Uncovered Soul” is based on a sonic worldview shaped by the interpersonal and musical landscape of Detroit in the late 60s and 70s. “Uncovered Soul” however, is not merely an urban reality: It is also the common thread that binds the relevancy of the words and music of Curtis Mayfield, Gene McDaniels, Bill Withers,The Neville Brothers, Amos Lee and Burt Bacharach to the present. Three original compositions were added to “Uncovered Soul” to provide a contemporary point of view.

Band Personnel:

• Eric Harland - Drums
• Kevin Axt - String and Electric Bass
• Mitch Foreman - Piano and Synths
• Munyungo - Percussion
• Greg Moore - (GMOE) Guitar
• Produced By Grammy Winner of “Liquid Spirit” ( Gregory Porter) , Kamau Kenyatta

Uncovered Soul Performance Review, January 2017
“Detroit singer Kathy Kosins made a big difference with her soul-drenched jazz songs from her upcoming “Uncovered Soul” album which seems to be the perfect blending of those two genres and a pretty hip thing to do at this time. Produced by Kamau Kenyatta (Gregory Porter), the album features rarely heard songs by Curtis Mayfield or Gene McDaniels plus a couple of original tunes which she co-wrote with Jeff Franzel. The steady swampy groove of “Voodoo”, ably backed by her terrific band under the direction of keyboardist Ondrej Pivec, set the tone for a grooving, mucho in-demand fresh approach and diction. “Don’t Get Me Started”, which ended the set, really has the power of becoming a future standard and has put her on the serious soul map which for her is actually something like a true homecoming.” - ginalovesjazz.com
