Indigo (tribute to Miles) by Cheryl Hodge, c. 2007 [6:36] 
This song was inspired by one night when I sat right in the third row of a Miles Davis concert. His music truly transformed me, as a person, and as a musician. The fantastic solos are by: Cliff Maddix on guitar, Dave Captein on bass, and Brad Turner on the horn - with that amazing drumming by Charlie Doggett.

REVIEWS ON HIT JAZZ CD ('09), "INDIGO":

"With her most recent album release,
INDIGO, talented vocalist/composer Cheryl Hodge shines on this fantastic jazz performance. Hodge’s gift of music is thoroughly enjoyed with her vocals that are polished and sophisticated. Feel the expression and emotion pouring out as she delivers an amazing collection of songs. Listeners will notice the outstanding support from band members as they blend balance and texture while adding a cool swing feel with soft brushes on drums, sweet guitar riffs, or electric piano. Let the melodic sax riffs carry you away on GUIDE TO RECOVERY. If you are looking to hear jazz with refreshing vocals, then you will definitely want to add Cheryl Hodge‘s INDIGO to your collection." - RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

Reviews on "
A Singer's Guide to the Well Trained & Powerful Voice"


"Ms. Hodge certainly is well qualified to tackle the topic. She's been singing for a quarter of a century with a wide variety of musicians in, the U.S. (where she was born) and Canada (where she has lived for many years). She earned a degree and taught for eight years (with Paula Cole probably her best-known student) at the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston...."- Bob Protzman, Downbeat writer

"Yours are the best video voice lessons I've seen on YouTube. I teach, too. If you don't mind, I'm going to feature one of your videos on my blog. How can I get your book?   - Educator, Ryan Bunch  (www.ryanbunch.com)
