Her recent release, “It’s Always You”, inspired by the vocal work of the legendary Chet Baker, features both familiar and obscure Baker songs that span the course of his fascinating career.
Bisantz performs and records with jazz/classical pianist and arranger Alex Nakhimovsky; and guitarist/ composer Norman Johnson.
The group is currently in the studio with a new project of original jazz (Bisantz/Nakhimovsky), latin in style, romantic in feel, with classical overtones. The CD is planned for release in early 2018.
