Carolyn Fitzhugh's soul-infused jazz vocals attain new heights with her release of 'Living in Peace'. Fitzhugh's second album also finds the Chicago native in esteemed company. Produced by Grammy nominee Mark Ruffin and given lush arrangements by state-of-the-art pianist and composer Amina Figarova, the recording features Figarova's working band, a murderer's row of major jazz musicians that includes tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, guitarist Rez Abbasi, and drummer Rudy Royston, and, on one track, the legendary Freddy Cole. "I can't tell you what a thrill that was for me," says Fitzhugh. "When Mark asked me would I like to sing with Freddy Cole, I couldn't believe it."
