| Even before Christine Spero began recording with her dynamic quartet, she was earning numerous accolades for her melodic, emotionally powerful and soulful songwriting and was Winner of the USA Songwriting Competition/Jazz category. She was also a finalist with "Caribbean Nights," a festive tropical celebration that typifies the joyful exotica that drives her second recording, My Spanish Dream, a rich Brazilian/Latin/world fusion offering that dances blithely between pop and jazz. The project was produced by Elliot Spero, who does multiple duties on soprano and tenor saxes as well as percussion. Christine's piece, "Therapy" has been published by Wild Whirled Music for use in film and television. The group has opened for such notables as: The Woody Herman Orchestra, Kim Waters, Walter Beasley, Mike Phillips, Ray Vega, Bobby Mattos, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and Melanie. Christine has been written about in USA Today, Billboard, Jazz Times, JAZZIZ, Keyboard and Recording Magazines and ASCAP Playback. My Spanish Dream is being played in over 20 countries. "..exciting Latin jazz grooves producing an intoxicating and vibrant sound." (ejazznews) " ...transports you to a loftier place." (Chronogram) "Yet as compelling and poetic as her writing is, her joyful live vocal performances and rich piano chordings and improvisations really bring the music to memorable life." (allmusicguide) "Their musicianship was outstanding and their diverse musical styles really had the crowd excited." (Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz) "...top notch..."
