A cool conversation on a hot summer's day, East of the Sun is a beautifully crafted collection of songs that has been described as 'New Zealand jazz at its best'. Carolina's intimate vocal entwined by the rich tones of Manins’ saxophone are a stunning combination and Carolina shows her ability to interpret some exceptional contemporary material, classic love songs and French chanson in a way that is fresh and modern. |

REVIEWS
"The season of long balmy evenings, longer drinks and cool music is upon us and music doesn’t come much cooler than this cocktail jazz from Kiwiland."
Full review: John Shand - Sydney Morning Herald
"She is at once contemporary and classic; a true artist in every sense of the word. The album is a classy mix of basso novas, ballads, swing tunes, and lovely, lilting, authentic French chanson. The playing is tasteful, understated, never getting in the way of her gorgeous voice; but at the same time, she lets her musicians take flight when appropriate, and carry wave after wave of sumptuous jazz."
Full review: Peter Dent, NZ Musician,June/July 07
