From Canada's west-caost, Kate Hammett-Vaughan is admired equally for her interpretations of jazz standards and for her work with avant garde groups such as the NOW Orchestra and Garbo's Hat. Her recording and performing career spans more than two decades and half a dozen record labels. So Lucky To Be Me, a collection of rarely heard jazz standards by composers like Rodgers and Hart and contemporary gems by Joni Mitchell, Hank Williams and more, is Hammett-Vaughan's first CD with the trio, following the three critically acclaimed CDs she has recorded with her long-time quintet.
