>>> LABOR DAY WEEKEND WILL ONCE AGAIN BE FILLED WITH THE SOUNDS OF JAZZ AT THE CHICAGO JAZZ FESTIVAL.

A FOUR-DAY SHOWCASE OF ALL FORMS OF JAZZ WITH LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS.

CHICAGO-BASED VOCALIST TAMMY McCANN OPENS THE EVENING SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd, WITH SONGS FROM HER NEW ALBUM "DO I MOVE YOU."

HERE SHE TELLS US WHAT TO LISTEN FOR.

>> I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING A BIT WITH THE RECORD AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO BE HOME AND SHOW CHICAGO AUDIENCES WHAT I'M DOING, WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEN ALSO ALL OF THE MUSICIANS THAT WERE ON THE RECORD ARE ALSO BASED IN CHICAGO AS WELL.

THIS PARTICULAR RECORD IS WHAT I'D LIKE TO CALL MY MARINADE.

IT'S A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THE MUSIC THAT INFLUENCES ME FROM JAZZ TO BLUES TO GOSPEL AND I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING I'D LIKE FOR THOSE AUDIENCES TO GET A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC THAT I DO, THAT I CREATE.

I THINK THAT IT IS REALLY CONNECTED TO FAMILY AND CONNECTED TO BRINGING US OUT OF THIS EMOTIONAL SEQUESTER THAT WE'VE BEEN IN WITH COVID.

SO IT'S DO I MOVE YOU?

I WANT TO MOVE PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM FEEL AGAIN AND I THINK THAT ALL THE MUSIC THAT'S IN THIS RECORD AND GOING TO BE IN THIS PERFORMANCE IS SOMETHING THAT WILL RESONATE.
