By the Light of the Moon takes pages from the Great American Songbook, as well as Kristin&#8217;s well-crafted originals, to provide a musical expedition of swingin&#8217; jazz, bossa grooves, sultry lyrics, and even a little Reggae.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>The album kicks off with a bouncy version of &#8220;It Could Happen to You&#8221; where Porter exhibits her ability to create interesting phrasing, along with relaxed scatting, creating an instant sense that this young lioness is years ahead of her age.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>&#8220;Teach Me Tonight,&#8221; is given a bossa treatment, and the only teaching going on here, is the lessons Porter is teaching the listener about her divine vocal prowess. &#8220;Light of the Moon,&#8221; is a funky cut that exhibits the playful side of Porter&#8217;s vocals, it is a perfect vehicle to showcase her abilities of range and technique. Porter has fully absorbed jazz vocal techniques and has complete control of her instrument.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>&#8220;Moody&#8217;s Mood from Love&#8221; is given a Reggae conduit that highlights Kristin&#8217;s ability to create interesting lines and of phrasing set against a Jamaican canvas. This young songstress is taking leaps far beyond most vocalists, even beyond heryears.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Kristin&#8217;s original, &#8220;Never Telling Me You Loved Me,&#8221; seduces you with her delicate femininity as you hear each note drop from her lips like honey, she leaves you wanting more. This track hints at Kristin&#8217;s love for sultry blues, and showcases her influences from great Jazz\/Blues composers, such as Harold Arlen.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristin Porters debut CD, By the Light of the Moon,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=430"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":642,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430\/revisions\/642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
