about

Courage4's debut recording features off-the-wall arrangements of jazz standards, one traditional French song and one original French tune.

Recorded just months before the pandemic, and completed between various lockdowns, the album takes you on a stylistic journey, from the rocking arrangement of If I Only Had a Brain (Wizard of Oz) to the hushed and tender tones of Cole Porter's You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To, to the funk-infused Just Friends. For a relaxing and entertaining listening experience, download your copy!
