Spring is an inventive, highly expressive musician whose obvious zest for the music she writes and plays here flows with joy, lyricism and, where applied, fire. With her viola’s additional string, the sound of her axe is more a Qviolin tessitura, but still all mellow and “vocal.” Her solos, technically flawless and involving, soar. As a composer, she has a deft pen with a penchant for melodic lines which are vividly exciting to the senses. - All About Jazz
Debbie’s New Single
Have I Got A Deal For You
Debbie has teamed up with the legendary composer and arranger Mike Lewis to breathe new life into her tune, Have I Got A Deal For You. Lewis’s expert touch, including a new middle section, has elevated Spring’s original composition, resulting in a collaboration that showcases both of their unique talents. The reimagined arrangement, which captures a 70’s vibe complete with horns and strings, is a must listen for fans of Spring’s work and newcomers alike.
Tocamos
It’s rare to hear viola as the lead instrument in jazz. Pitched between a violin and cello, it takes a highly accomplished musician like Debbie Spring to use its warm, mellow sound in a jazz setting. With her classical technique, deep knowledge of a range of international styles, solid jazz chops, and superb compositional skills, TOCAMOS is a compelling debut for an artist with an already extensive resume.
