This week’s Hot New Local Single is Tina Schlieske – “My Baby Just Cares for Me” from her album The Good Life
Tina Schlieske has been a household name in the Twin Cities music scene for eons, but this new release “The Good Life” marks her most serious exploration of jazz in a studio setting. She teamed up with some great players from our scene including Brian Nichols (p), Pete Hennig (d) and Jake Baldwin (tp). There is no doubt that Schlieske’s ability to deliver a song with great passion and power extends into the jazz songbook. We’ve been especially partial to “My Baby Just Cares for Me” but the whole outing is a top notch affair.
Hot New Local Singles highlight new local songs. Minnesota has a lot of great jazz, funk, soul and jazz adjacent music. Jazz88 is highlighting what is fresh.
