MaryLynn Gillaspie

Secret Language (independent)

MaryLynn was a founding member of the Grammy nominated vocal jazz group, Rare Silk. Their very first album, ’New Weave’, flew to the top of the Billboard Jazz charts and received 2 Grammy nominations. She returned to singing after 25 years in a career of photography and raising a family.
‘Secret Language’ is designed with the idea of ‘active listening’, much like when you put an album on the turntable and listen from beginning to end. It is sprinkled with ‘miniatures’ in between full-length tunes. Think: sorbet between courses at an engaging dinner!
