Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents Katie Ernst - "Little Words"

A new project called "Little Words", features the poetry of Dorothy Parker set to music that Katie wrote and sings. The band features Katie Ernst on bass and vocals, Stu Mindeman on piano, Dustin Laurenzi on saxophone, and Andrew Green on drums.

"Anyone who has attended Chicago jazz performances during the past couple of years probably has noticed her: a versatile young bassist who plays in far-flung bands and sings with uncommon delicacy and authenticity." Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
"Ernst sings with a tenderness and unpretentiousness that focus attention on the lyrics, not on the singer, a rare quality among contemporary jazz vocalists." Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
"...one of the brightest lights on Chicago's jazz scene" Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
"The album [Little Words] is a concise set that winningly blends jazz, pop and classical elements, showcasing Ernst's buttery alto and her creative way with melody."John Frederick Moore, Jazziz Magazine
