Title - Back at the Bop Stop - Live
Artist - Maria Jacobs

For those unaware, Back at the Bop Stop is Maria Jacobs’ ninth album, featuring Rock Wehrmann on piano, Bryan Thomas on bass, and Jamey Haddad on drums for all live tracks.

Maria Jacobs is an American jazz vocalist, Christian singer songwriter and author, born of Syrian Lebanese and Armenian descent. She is the Adjunct Professor of Applied Vocal Jazz at Kent State University, her second alma mater, from where she graduated Cum Laude.

She is a licensed music educator, a Principal Conductor and Curriculum Advisor for The Open Tone Music Academy, partnering with Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Maria is a national voice over artist and a national smooth jazz recording artist whose original song, Pour Me A Cup of Yesterday, is heard on smooth jazz stations across the country. She has charted on the Groove Jazz Charts and the Smooth Jazz Holiday Charts in 2019 and 2020.

As a follow-up to her 2019 jazz release Bootleggin’ at the Bop Stop, Jacobs has now recorded her brand new album, the aforementioned Back at the Bop Stop (releasing March 3rd, 2023).

1. Up Jumped Spring
2. You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To
3. Deed I Do
4. Stand By Me
5. Infatuation
6. If You Could See Me Now
7. Pour Me A Cup of Yesterday
8. Easy To Love
9. Moody’s Mood For Love
10. Never Will I Marry
11. Blue Moon [Studio Bonus Track]
12. Pale Moon, Blue Sky [Studio Bonus Track]

This magnificently ambient new album opens on the playful jaunt of Freddie Hubbard’s Up Jumped Spring and the soulful balladry within Cole Porters You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To and then Maria brings us the low slung swing of Deed I Do, a dulcet rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me, and both a smooth, laid back Infatuation and Tadd Dameron’s tantalizingly sumptuous ballad, If You Could See Me Now.

Along next is the gentle finger-snapper Pour Me A Cup of Yesterday and Cole Porter’s passive swinger, Easy To Love, and they are in turn followed by the ornate gossamer of the classic Moody’s Mood For Love, the upbeat and groovy Never Will I Marry, and then come two studio bonus tracks; featuring Maria on piano and Bobby Selvaggio on alto sax, the aching Blue Moon, and Chris Anderson on trombone and horn arrangement, Bobby Selvaggio on alto sax, Jack Schantz on trumpet and flugelhorn, Rock Wehrmann on piano, Aidan Plank on bass and Mark Gonder on drums for the breathy, harmonized Pale Moon Blue Sky.
