Veteran Matawan Jazz Singer Releases CD

Longtime Matawan-based Jazz Singer, Vocal Coach Releases CD

    Longtime Matawan-based Jazz Singer, Vocal Coach Releases CD

I’ve been a Matawan resident for over 40 years. My four children graduated MRHS. And I’ve had a long career as a working singer, bandleader, songwriter, voice teacher---and as a single mom, raising those kids. Two of my sons, Steve and John Conte are now well-known professional musicians and producers based in NYC. Steve, John, and daughter Jennifer (Peter Conte Salon & Spa, Matawan) gave me a big surprise on Mother’s Day 2014. They found tapes from a “lost” NYC recording session of mine--something I had forgotten about, Steve took charge of mastering, digitizing, getting graphics done and all else associated with releasing this on his record label. The three surprised me with this 7-track CD “Rosemary Conte, But Beautiful,“ on Mother’s Day 2014. When you have a minute, please go to www.Facebook.com/RosemaryConteSinger and sample the tracks from the Music Store app. The backstory of how this session came about is quite remarkable, and it’s posted on that Page. “But Beautiful” is also available on disc and MP3 from www.CDBaby.com/CD/RosemaryConte ; and on Amazon and iTunes. It’s very good singing of beautiful songs.
