New Recording. Just out by one of the most talked-about new female voices in the city

is the self-produced debut CD, Linnzi Zaorski & Delta Royale. The attractive Ms. Zaorski

has a remarkably mature voice for a twenty- something. Her phrasing brings Billie Holiday

to mind, but she projects like an Ethel Merman. Recorded live (in part) at the Spotted Cat,

where she frequently performs, the program includes a nice selection of Tin Pan Alley

standards (as well as Shearing's "Lullaby of Birdland"). Zaorski is ably backed by a

quartet consisting of veteran Charlie Fardela, trumpet; Ryan Burrage, reeds; Seva

Venet, guitar; andRobert Snow, bass. There's plenty of solo space for the horns, and

Fardela and Burragedistinguish themselves with some very tasteful playing. This is

a real swinging session. Zaorski has a distinctive new voice that deserves to be

heard more widely (and most certainly will be in coming months). She appeared at

the Spotted Cat on New Year's Eve.
