Katie Ernst

I like to play the bass. I might just sing a song for you, too.About the recordings... WORK IN PROGRESS: Corbin Andrick traveled across the desolate prairie in an Amtrak train from Decatur, IL to lay down sweet sweet melodies with his alto saxophone. Matt Carroll, drummer extraordinaire, proceeded to crash his car after the session on his way back to Lincoln Park. Andrew Lawrence, piano, faced Giant Steps like a man. Hannah Antolin, also piano, tickled the ivories on Just Friends. I, Katie Ernst, played bass and did a vocal. We're just a bunch of young musicians playing straight-ahead jazz like it was our job.CARROLL/ERNST/MEAD: Matt Carroll on drums (sans car crash this time), Me on bass/vocals, and the painfully talented Holly Mead on piano. Enjoy.
