Natalie Rungan, an experienced jazz vocal teacher wanted to create a graded syllabus of jazz standards for students to begin their journey with. With an emphasis on melodies sung as written on score and basic improvisation, the songbird wanted students to grow by learning the language of jazz step by step. Partnering with engineer Talent Mbatha, Natalie thought of none other than the phenomenal Melvin Peters to accompany her on piano. Joining the duo is Shaun Johannes on bass and Bruce Baker on drums. This is the first of three albums of the series.
