(Published: July 19, 2017)

(Los Angeles, July 19, 2017) In October of 2016, renowned promoter/producer Takao Ishizuka released the first solo piano/vocal album of 6-time Juno nominated jazz artist Carol Welsman in Japan. The album reached #5 on the Japan Jazz Chart, remained top 20 for four months and was the top #1 selling album for over 5 months at Yamano Music, Tokyo's prominent jazz retailer.

This would come as no surprise to critics and fans alike who have always praised Welsman's piano/vocal talents. As a result of the success of this album in Japan and by popular demand, Ms. Welsman is turning to her fans and social media to help select the recorded solo tracks from this top selling recording to be included in her forthcoming album release FOR YOU. Via a social media event slated to run July 19 -August 2nd on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and her website, Welsman is providing 30 second sound bytes of each of the 23 tracks originally released in Japan, with the overall top 15 selected by those who vote to be included in the FOR YOU album release slated for August 18. Everyone partaking will receive an executive producer credit, names of which will be included in the album artwork and the ability to pre-order a signed discounted copy of the final CD.

Tracks recorded for consideration include: Skylark, Bewitched, Garota de Ipanema, Danny Boy, Besame Mucho, Autumn Leaves, Manha da Carnaval, I Will Wait For You and Smile, among others.

What the critics are saying:

Los Angeles Times__
"She sang with a body moving sense, enlivening the lyrics with impressive scat segments delivered in unison with her piano lines."

South Bend Tribune....
"The highlight of Welsman's set was Vera Lynne's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square." Welsman played it solo from the piano and gave it an intimate soulful interpretation."

Rex Reed
"The songs sung and played by Carol are a thrill you can only feel and experience with awe!"

The Record, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
"Accompanying her superb vocal and pianistic techniques is a dynamic stage presence. It's when she sits down at the piano that brings out the best in her!."
