| Introduction | Amy Kohn is applauded by some of the top composer/producers in modern song: Van Dyke Parks says she’s “Brimming with such talent!” and the late, legendary Producer Arif Mardin dubbed Amy a “Musical Devil in a Red Dress” and featured her on his final recording, "All My Friends Are Here," along with performers such as Norah Jones, Chaka Khan, and Carly Simon. Amy always seeks sounds she’s never heard, and it comes through in the “oddly structured beauty” (Scottish Herald) of her highly arranged, effervescent music. An international touring artist, Amy has performed her music at festivals and venues such as Italy’s UBI Jazz, Woma Jazz, Geni Musicali, Croatia’s FoPa, Berlin’s Clavier-Cabinett, and London’s famed 12 Bar and Ray’s Jazz Shop. In New York she leads her 7-piece band to top NY venues such as Joe’s Pub and the Issue Project Room. Her 3rd album, PlexiLusso, recorded between Italy and the U.S. and featuring 17 musicians on everything from winds to windmills, will be released September 16, with the single, "Everyone's in Love" available August 19. |
