If you love swing in the tradition of Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, this is the CD for you! Doug Haining assembled The Twin Cities Seven from musicians he has worked with through the years from the Wolverines Big Band. Charmin Michelle has worked with all the musicians in varies ensembles in the past ten years, but it was September 2000 that she and Doug Haining set the stage to record a CD together. Thus HOT came to be. And trust us, it is HOT! |
| 'Retro pleaser, Charmin Michelle, a local vocalist with savoir faire to spare, just released her third CD, HOT. It spotlights Houg Haining and the Twin Cities Seven, and exemplary group modeled on Count Basie's Kansas City septet. Haining's clarinet is liquid and lustrous on A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing; pianist Rick Carlson certainly is fit to sit in the Count's chair, and drummer Gordy Knudtson combines precision with easy flair. But it's Michelle's show, and she gently seduces the listener time after time, whether the fare is ageless blues, warm bossa, intimate love song, or upbeat novelty. She's a flower, a lovesome thing.'
~ Tom Surowicz, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
'It is the year 2001 in the month of October - Autumn in the land of Minnesota lakes. And Charmin Michelle , via her third CD, pours out her heart and her soul. If, in this bizarre time, these performances by Charmin and her messengers, The Twin Cities Seven, don't offer comfort and healing, then all is lost. THe arrangements by Charmin (THE VOICE), Doug Haining (Alto Sax, Clarinet), Rick Carlson (Piano), Kent Saunders (Guitar), and The Twin Cities Seven set up a compelling series of images. '
