Kathy Kosins "All In A Dream's Work..." (Schoolkid's Records) Of all the indie releases out now, none have received more unsolicited raves from jazz programmers than this one by vocalist Kathy Kosins called All In A Dream's Work... It's a courageous collection in the sense that she only relies on one standard, "Four" by Miles Davis and Jon Hendricks. Otherwise its nine originals were cowritten by Kosins and her writing partners, including Jeff Fanzel, the pianist on the session. Kosins is a versatile singer. She can sing it pretty, forceful and cool, depending on the mood of the song. Kosins entertains a satisfying range and stays in key (you'd be surprised how many don't). On a song like "Happy," you hear catchy choruses, sleek soloing on trumpet and piano, metronome bass swing and plenty of vocal bop drive. Highly recommended.

...on occasion a voice will stop me dead in my tracks and remind me how good it is to hear a special singer for the first time. The voice of Kathy Kosins, on her self-produced, and basically self-written and self-arranged debut disc. All In a Dream's Work (A Collection of New Standards), stopped me cold.

Credit Tony Bennett with the rejuvenation of the jazz singer. Music producers learned from rap audiences, that the words sung and the style of delivery had regained importance with the listener. Mr. Bennett capitalized on this and so did the throngs of jazz singers. Kathy Kosins is a throwback to the swing era torch singer. Her manner, akin to Sarah Vaughn, is a pronounced stylized approach. All In a Dream's Work were written or co-written by Kosins except "Four" the Miles Davis classic which Jon Hendricks penned lyrics. Kosins plucked a standard's album out of a time gone by.
