ERIC STARR is a exciting new artist on the international jazz scene. A native of Western New York, Starr now calls New York City his home, where for many years he has fronted the critically acclaimed Eric Starr Group.

A collection of original vocal jazz tunes, SHE highlights not only Starr's performance abilities on numerous instruments, but also his ability to write and arrange music for a variety of ensembles. Each track is steeped in the jazz tradition yet Starr's musical conception remains fresh and distinctive throughout.

Featured musicians on SHE include longtime Sting guitarist, Dominic Miller, Bill Bruford, McCoy Tyner and Gil Evans saxophonist, Iain Ballamy, and Starr's brother, Nelson on vocals.

Together with rich string and horn arrangements, this impressive list of performers brings to life Starr's unique musical vision.
