Sophie Milman - Sophie Milman

With sales nearing the 100,000 unit mark worldwide and reaching #1 on the Jazz iTunes charts in the United States, Canada, Japan, France and Sweden, it is hard not to understand why Sophie Milman is quickly gathering attention on the world's stage.Born in the Ural Mountains of Russia, Sophie Milman's family escaped to Israel at the collapse of communism and relocated to Canada a few years later. Little remained from the upheaval other than some family heirlooms and a cherished vinyl record collection. It was that music that became the foundation of Sophie's love of jazz from as far back as she could remember. Sophie Milman's debut self-titled CD is a collection of Jazz standards and contemporary new compositions that together showcase the maturity and originality of this young Jazz singer, skillfully produced by Bill King and Danny Greenspoon.
