Artist Biography

Kari Kirkland’s debut album, ‘Wild is the Wind’, arranged and produced by four-time Grammy nominee, Shelly Berg, is a collection of contemporary and jazz standard songs featuring John Daversa, Roy Hargrove, Dean Parks, Brian Kilgore, Kevin Axt, and Gregg Field. Berg’s feelings about his decision to work with Kari speak to the talents of this newcomer to the jazz scene: “Kari’s voice and style are uniquely ‘her’. There is a depth of truth and heart in her singing that is very, very compelling. I’m proud and blessed to have done this project with her.”
