Elizabeth Shepherd - Rewind (2012)

An album of standards,' Rewind' showcases Elizabeth as an arranger, interpreter and producer. A two- time JUNO nominee and critical darling, Elizabeth Shepherd's genre-bending soulful jazz has helped her find her place as a mainstay on the international circuit, playing legendary venues like Tokyo's Cotton Club, London's Jazz Café and the Hollywood Bowl. As her first first full-length album of standards, 'Rewind' charts new and welcomed territory for the songstress. Elizabeth stamps each song on' Rewind' with her cool, trademark sound, creating continuity with her original work but managing to appeal to a more mainstream jazz audience So while 'Rewind' was a record initially inspired by Elizabeth's desire to connect to something true and constant while undergoing and preparing for her life's biggest upheaval yet, the album in fact was a transition too; a remarkable, inspired and ambitiously creative transition.
