Left Coast Life

Overview   I   Song List & Samples  I   Reviews  I   Credits

On this provocative collection, Kitty Margolis celebrates the idealism and irony, humor and poignancy of "Left Coast Life." A fourth generation Californian, the visionary vocalist turns her musical sights towards her home turf. Here you will meet some of the dreamers and schemers that inhabit the edge of paradise and explore what really gives meaning to life. Bringing a distinctly 21st century sensibility to her eclectic repertoire of modern jazz and pop standards and originals, Margolis guides you into her world with breathtaking emotional intelligence and enormous wit.

Includes songs by Tom Waits, Pink Floyd, Bob Dorough, Dave Frishberg, Randy Newman and two sparkling originals.

"Margolis' approach is 21st century, connecting all the musical idioms of her ear into one mother tongue. She sings from the inside out, performing a kind of synthesis where music becomes tangible and each phrase takes on a visceral presence. With Kitty you can almost taste the music. She keeps you listening with your whole body."
- Ben Sidran, from the liner notes
