Private Release / Rose Drummond
Johanne Blouin – Rose Drummond is a package of 12 jazz sextet tunes for a limited edition CD – intimate treatments of songs with the famous flower as theme – co-sponsored by Drummond Roses of Drummondville, Quebec. This very special CD will be available the week leading up to St. Valentine’s Day and is available exclusively online www.rose.ca .An accomplished jazz vocalist and Justin Time recording artist, Ms. Blouin is proud to be spokesperson for Drummond Roses and fittingly, future occasional packages are in the works.Included in the song lineup are famous titles such as Ramblin’ Rose (of Nat King Cole fame), Fats Waller’s delightful Honeysuckle Rose , the Aretha Franklin hit (A Rose In) Spanish Harlem and the sultry Tango des Roses . And what bouquet would be complete without La Vie En Rose ? Johanne is capably accompanied by pianist/arranger Vic Vogel . In lieu of chocolates and wine perhaps, Drummond Roses have sweetened the package with a $5. rebate coupon and a chance to win a romantic trip for two to Rome! For each CD sold, $2. will be donated to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation .
