Jazz/R&B Vocalist Anthony Jefferson's "ALL I AM," releasing January 31

​ANTHONY JEFFERSON’s newest release is an eclectic project of songs from the Great American Songbook, pop music, R&B, and the movies, all beautifully rendered as romantic jazz tunes by Jefferson’s silky, warm baritone voice and lush orchestral arrangements by multi-instrumentalist COREY ALLEN. The luxuriant string and horn arrangements amplify Jefferson’s innate warmth and soulfulness. The album features some of the finest  musicians in Dominican Republic, where Jefferson has been living for the past 10 years. Jefferson is already a bona fide star in Dominican Republic. All I AM is a superb showcase for an expatriate American singer who deserves to be much better known in the United States. Although he has been performing for many years, with his pure voice, inventive and personal phrasing, and sensitive approach to lyrics, Anthony Jefferson’s star has just begun to shine.
