For those not in the know, KAT GANG is a jazz singer known for her smooth, expressive voice and effortless sense of swing. Drawing inspiration from classic jazz traditions while adding her own modern flair, she brings warmth and sophistication to every performance.

Her new album BOSSA & BORDEAUX is an intimate evening in sound—a velvet-lit collection of acoustic jazz standards drawn from the romance of French chanson and the effortless sway of Brazilian bossa nova. Performed with understated elegance and emotional depth, the album moves like candlelight across a late-night café table: warm, wistful, and deeply human.

KAT GANG has a soul steeped in jazz, captivating audiences with her rich tone, subtle phrasing, and authentic emotional depth. At the heart of BOSSA & BORDEAUX is a richly textured acoustic quintet featuring Kat Gang on vocals with Matthew Sheens on piano, Pat Brennan on guitar, Phil Palombi on bass, and Matt Chiasson on reed instruments, woven together in a soft and stylistic production mixed and mastered by David Darlington that favors nuance over spectacle.

The album was born from their weekly performance at The Nines in New York City, as they soon realized they needed to somehow preserve the collaboration, generosity, and magic that happens when gifted artists gather with open ears and open hearts.

With the project reflecting years of devotion to the jazz tradition and a lifelong fascination with the emotional storytelling of international song, Kat opens her new recording on the playfully flirtatious C’est Si Bon and the sublimely decadent Só Danço Samba and then comes the luxuriant Sous Le Ciel De Paris, a dutiful hipsway within Favela and then the emotively sculpted Jardin D’Hiver.

Along next is the upbeat rhythmic bounce of Just Friends (Deux Amis) and the silky smooth Samba Saravah, and they are in turn backed seamlessly by a decidedly dreamy Dream a Little Dream of Me (Les Yeux Ouverts), the new set rounding out on the joyfully impassioned Agua de Beber, coming to a close on the fervently emboldened, Charleston-eseque Douce Ambiance.
