Feb 2022 jazz blues acoustic song collaboration
Thank you Sherry for your beautiful collaboration.

Sherry; I finally was able to do a collaboration with the wonderful Nadia.
I heard her instrumental version and the song practically wrote itself.
I am in low energy from recent surgery, but this one was meant to be
Jazz Escape
Beyond hope and fear
Is there somewhere I can be?
Someplace to escape
This world of misery
I’d like to leave the earth awhile
And find a land of harmony
And then come back to start over
Use the gifts bestowed to me
Chorus
When the world is closing in
And I need a quick escape
I close my and free the past
Take a deep breath and
Escape into the sea of jazz
Interlude
I can flow with the water
Sometimes forge a different path
It’s mine to choose
I can find my way back
Bridge
I turn the music loud
Surrender to the mood
Let it take my spirit
and tap into the groove.
( short vocal scat or improv)
Chorus
When the world is closing in
And you need a quick escape
Close your eyes and free the past
Take a deep breath and
Escape into the sea of jazz
Vamp out

Wonderful that Sherry could write words and lay down some bluesy jazz vocals to go over Nadia's music. Pure awesomeness!
@wylddandelyon Mar 2022
Oh, what lovely words to go with that jazzy music. The chorus especially. Very nice!

This is such a treat! I love hearing you play this Jazzy piece, Nadia, and Sherry's vocals and lyrics couldn't be better for it. The lyrics are so relatable, on a lot of levels. And, it's just so nice to hear two of my favorites making such beautiful music together!

This is beautiful - both of you! The flute sound is lovely mixed in there. I hope music can continue to be uplifting Sherry! Love the jazz vocal and piano solo. So good!

Here I am finally ladies, please forgive me. I've just finished my goals for this month and made this a first listening stop.
It's always a delight to hear our Sherry bringing the jazzy blues and to hear Nadia playing jazz is a great treat, and then there's the arrangement, full and melodically interesting.
Really is an escape into jazz I'm quietly grooving to this tasty treat. Thanks for the update note. Happy to hear you both! Hugs, my friends.

So cool to hear Nadia playing some jazzy. It's something new for new and I really enjoy it. To be honest moee than classical stuff. These vocals are wonderfully sultry. Great collab of you two. Now I have to leave the club and take a deep breath. You smoked too much!
@katestantonsings Feb 2022
Jazzy vocals and Nadia’s piano! This is a super cool collab. Loving those vocals on Seeeeeaa of Jazz. Nice job, ladies!!

Escape into the sea of jazz
wonderful line and what a great piano track from Nadia, just so beautiful and this lyric fits into it like it was all meant to be. This is a joy to listen to, so soulful in every way...give it to us raw and real Sherry, this is amazing....as are you!!

I listened first to Nadia's music on its own and it has a lovely bluesy-jazzy feel. The flute sound reminds me of some of the arrangements on the '40s and 50's mainstream jazz singer's records.
Sherry's vocals are haunting and memorable. The lyrics clearly come from the heart and your experiences but they are universal too.
Lots of things happening all over the world lately. It's a good thing we have this sea of jazz and other music to escape with.

Sherry and Nadia, this is a fantastic pairing of mega talents!
Sherry, you got that sultry vocal down and every minute of your well lived life is a part of this fabulous soundscape.
Nadia, your piano musical arrangement is wonderful. You created the perfect vessel for these lyrics to travel.
Take a deep breath and
Escape into the sea of jazz
I did!! Wonderful work you two!
@petemurphy Feb 2022
Oh my! Ladies!!
This has got some real deep bluesy soul.
Nadia's playing always fills me with joy, and Sherry's voice is always so full of soul. The flute is a great touch.
I absolutely love this. Congratulations on such a brilliant and successful collaboration.
@jessicagraae Feb 2022
Wow! This is fabulous. I just love the lyrics and those jazzy chords. It's got a vintage jazz feel, too. Sherry, you singing is wonderful and the lyrics seem to reflect an eternal optimism and hope for a better world. It's also self-fulfilling, since you are making the world better with your sea of jazz!
@kristi Feb 2022
This is delightful! Nadia's music is so inspiring and it's wonderfully expressive here. Sherry's lyric and vocal have that easy jazzy feel to them. Love the bridge and passionate delivery there too. "Escape into the sea of jazz" is a great line and idea. A beauty of a song ladies!
@jerrypettit Feb 2022
Nadia's music beds are always so beautiful--you were clearly inspired here: Your lyrics are wonderful and surgery or no, you've given a nice soulful vocal performance.
Very nice collaboration, you two!
@scubed Feb 2022
What a treat for the ears - Sherry’s great voice and Nadia’s beautiful piano! Love the jazzy, bluesy vibe!
@hbusse Feb 2022
Ah yes, here it is! Sherry’s lovely low vocals have an earthiness and world-weariness to them that suits Nadia’s smoky, bluesy music so well. Especially loving the hook line about “escape into the sea of jazz”! And that last vocal run on “free the past”!
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Ah, this is so old time jazz, and what a pair up! I feel like I've gone back in time. Awesome song you two!
