“Spring is Here” is a beautiful disk showcasing Crema’s remarkable voice as a storyteller and musical seamstress, her voice draws the listener deep into a musical journey celebrating beauty and discoveries of the heart.

The 12 track disc features the stellar musicianship of Bill Coon, George McFetridge, Nino DiPasqual, Paul Rushka, Paul Townsend including Brad Turner and is a collection of songs ranging from Billy Strayhorn’s, “A Flower is a Lovesome Thing”, to the Beatles’ “Blackbird”. The opening “A Flower is a Lovesome Thing” introduces the listeners to Crema’s remarkably evocative and resonant voice; and the two duets on the album are truly enchanting renditions of the Brighetti/Martino classic “Estate” (with Crema singing the original Italian lyrics) and the hauntingly beautiful “Tenderly”.

Other highlights include Brad Turner’s trumpet solo on Cole Porter’s, “So In Love”, his inventive flugelhorn playing on “Autumn Serenade” and the band’s heartfelt reading of “A Ghost of a Chance”.
