Lyn Stanley:

Novel Noel

Does a Christmas-themed album strictly need only holiday-specific songs to make it official?  Novel Noel, A Jingle Cool Jazz Celebration successfully challenges this idea with the wonderful addition of It's Magic. This 1949 Academy Award nominated  song by Jules Styne and Sammy Cahn (written in 1947) was popularized by Doris Day in her film debut, Romance on the High Seas.  It was Lyn's thought that special things happen at Christmas time, creating a magical feel to the holiday season.  She and her band broke with traditional delivery as well when they decided this song would be more romantic under a smoldering Latin rhythm - a rumba – aimed at bringing couples closer. Lyn's tender, heartfelt vocal expresses the mystical intimacy and connection that only love can bring. Los Angeles area's KKjz-88.1fm jazz programmer, Saul Levine, proclaimed upon hearing the song, "It's a hit!!"

London With A Twist - Live at Bernie's

Lyn Stanley has had a remarkable career in music. With the late legendary jazz pianist Paul T. Smith as her mentor, she began her career out of nowhere in 2010. Her debut recording Lost In Romance ranked in the top 100 albums played by American radio stations and, virtually by herself, she has built up a large worldwide following (particularly among audiophiles) and released such popular albums as Potions {from the 50s}, Interludes, The Moonlight Sessions Volumes One and Two, and London Calling-A Toast To Julie London, all of which have been big sellers. She was awarded Female Jazz Vocalist of the Year for 2018 by Saul Levine, programmer for KKJZ-FM,Los Angeles' top jazz radio station. Her secret, beyond her unique sultry voice and her impeccable taste in picking out gems from the Great American Songbook, has been her planning and attention to details. Whether it is the packaging, the sound quality, the material, the arrangements, the always-danceable tempos, the top-notch musicians or the producer, Lyn always goes first class.

London Calling - A Toast To Julie London

In this stunning new collection - London Calling…A Toast To Julie London,listeners will discover a side of singer Lyn Stanley that they haven't heard before. The 17 tunes on this recording explore phases of romance from first glance in ‘Blue Moon' to a missed chance in Cry Me a River.'  Most of the wide-ranging material presented here was originally recorded by singer/actress Julie London, along with a couple of offerings that Stanley feels would have been perfect for the sultry songstress, such as "It's Impossible," and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

Lyn Stanley:

The Moonlight Sessions, Volume One & Two

With her unmistakable signature style, Southern California-based jazz vocalist Lyn Stanley has a knack for making every tune her own. On ‘The Moonlight Sessions, Volume One,' Stanley works her vocal magic on a diverse collection of material, from "Close Your Eyes" to "Crazy" to "Girl Talk" to "How Insensitive." Whether interpreting a tune by Glenn Miller, Willie Nelson, Antonio Carlos Jobim, or Rodgers and Hart, there's no doubt that Lyn Stanley will put her distinctive stamp on each cover. Though she delivers every song with finesse and the confidence of a veteran song stylist, Stanley is just a few years into her vocal career. Releasing her first album, Lost in Romance in 2013, Stanley's impeccable phrasing allows the alto to communicate the lyrics with the sureness of an expert storyteller.
