Anna Danes and Friends in Home for the Holidays
Top-charting Billboard Jazz recording artist Anna Danes returns to Martinis Above Fourth at 7 p.m., Saturday, December 14 for an evening of holiday merriment, song and a whole lot of style and class.
The Polish born, San Diego based multi-faceted artist, has been identified as a passion-pursuing and dream chasing artist. Upon its release, “Find Your Wings” debuted at #1 on the iTunes jazz chart. Soon thereafter, it placed on two Billboard charts, reaching #13 on the Traditional Jazz chart and in the Top 25 on the Jazz Albums chart. The collection, a follow-up to her well received 2013 debut “Longing,” was produced by Dave Darling (Brian Setzer, Tom Waits, Jack Johnson, Motley Crue) and recorded with top L.A. session musicians in Capitol’s Studios A, where greats like Frank Sinatra and Nat “King” Cole once held court.
She is a former lawyer and stay-at-home mom who at the age of 43 reinvented herself when she turned to singing as a way to find her voice and to change her life when the love is her life was no more. She is now a successful singer, author, speaker and producer. She produces private and public events as well as produces Jazz on Cedros a sophisticated musical happy hour that is celebrating sold-out shows since its inception last year.
Her music is based on the classics, the jazz standards, including the music of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole. But she’s also taken modern songs and arranged them for jazz. And recently, Anna started writing her own standards. Her latest album contains half original songs, which are Dane’s stories.
