Kronstadt’s soothing vocals and poetic lyricism are paired with a sensual aural palette consisting of various hues of jazz, sophisticated pop and funky R&B grooves. Her graceful delivery, rhythmic phrasing and the ability to hold and bend notes into shadowy swatches make her expressive voice as much of an instrument as the astute accompaniment she receives from top-drawer players including keyboardists John Beasley and Nicholas Semrad, bassist Benjamin Shepherd, drummer Joel Taylor, trumpeter Michael Stever, saxophonist/woodwind player Bob Sheppard and a 12-piece string section. Together, they pave the way for Kronstadt’s tales to venture off on experiential journeys through heartache, longing, introspection, pondering, hope and head-over-heels joy.  

Music and lyrics composed, arranged and produced by Gina Kronstadt

Walk My Way

'Walk My Way' has taken its sweet time to present itself. Most of this project was recorded in 1990, and after sitting on a shelf for seven years, was completed in 1997.

We're so happy to have the opportunity to release Walk My Way at this time!

There are a couple of interesting milestones on this recording. It was brilliant drummer, Gary Novak's first record date. It was also flautist, Steve Fowler's last recording, having been diagnosed with ALS, and since succumbing to that horrific disease.

So, here it is, now finally being legally and officially released. We hope you enjoy it.
