Restless Willow (2004)

session photos
A frolicking and adventurous album of jazz standards, special and original material. Stevie's emotional honesty and swinging vocals grabbed audiences around the globe - so much so, that her new rendition of Edvard Grieg's "Jeg Elsker Dig" earned her an invitation to sing it for the King and Queen of Norway. Restless Willow charted on radio stations across the U.S.A. Honors included being voted a Top 10 CD of the Year at KSDS in San Diego, CA and a Top 10 Vocal CD with the Cape Fear Jazz Appreciation Society in NC.
