Having grown both personally and artistically since releasing Stranger last year, Donna took some time to do what she loves most – compose music.

With arrangements by Jordan Klapman and orchestration by Tony Quarrington, Donna has selected twelve new, original songs, which best represent her artistic character at this point in her musical career.

Donna’s wide range of cultural influences shines through on this record. Jazz, blues, Latin, salsa, gospel and country are a selection of musical styles that contribute to the sound Donna calls Mav’rik, scheduled to be released by the end of this year.

So stay tuned and keep an eye out for YOUR invitation to Mav’rik – The Launch Party! We can’t wait to see you there.

Additional photos of Donna working in the studio are available HERE.

Here’s what her fans are saying:
Beautiful voice and great musicianship all ’round. — 1FilmLover (on YouTube)
Yesterday I got your CD and I was really dazzled! Good music, fine singing, that’s all I can say!!! — Jani, Vienna, Austria

WOW…. I love Cantemos A La Luna!!! It is so beautiful. On first listen, the album is amazing. You are a true talent. — David, Toronto

You have a wonderful voice and that is quite the group of musicians as well. A well produced CD with excellent choices of repertoire with a nice variety of styles and moods. I like it especially that your voice does not sound the same in every song. Quite often singers can sound the same no matter what they sing. You have a wonderful tone to your voice and I can easily see or should I say ‘hear’ your voice on the radio! — Richard, Toronto

For many recording artists, Bob Birch Radio has become a great step up to increased airplay world-wide.

This past Saturday, April 20th, Donna’s Stranger received more play on Ottawa radio station CHOU 89.1 FM program The Latin Train. Host of the show, Mike Bongard, continues to give Donna the airplay and promotion she so richly deserves on his show which features some of the best in Afro-Cuban jazz; New York, Puerto Rican and Colombian salsa; timba; and Cuban songs.

Toronto would like to introduce one of its emerging jazz vocalists, Donna Greenberg. An original song writer and lyricist, Donna is backed by the great Jordan Klapman Jazz Band. On February 16, Donna invites Toronto to join her for A Valentine Serenade – an evening of originals with vibrant arrangements of jazz standards for every taste.

A Valentine Serenade will showcase Donna’s warm voice, innate musicality and dramatic flair, alluded to in the remarkable reviews received for her CD “Stranger”. This album and its preceding debut were recognized by experienced musicians, arrangers and fans alike.

“…your CD arrived over a week ago and I have been enjoying the music very much.  You have a wonderful voice and that is quite the group of musicians as well.  A well produced CD with an excellent choice of repertoire with a nice variety of styles and moods.  I especially like it that your voice does not sound the same in every song.  Quite often singers can sound the same no matter what they sing.  You have a wonderful tone to your voice and I can easily see or should I say ‘hear’ your voice on the radio!” — Richard, Toronto

“I can’t stop listening to your CD. You truly have a big gift, especially as a songwriter! I am very moved by the sincerity and beauty of the melodies you wrote.” — Monica, Guelph

“You were wonderful last night and your band was top-notch.  I just want to note, also, that I enjoyed your compositions very much.” — Gerry, Toronto

“Honey, you sizzled! I think that folks love not just your voice but your warm, delightful, and yet sultry and passionate expression. You were fab!” — Sharon, Toronto

All of these reviews also point to the amazing performance of the Jordan Klapman Jazz Band

With Donna Greenberg’s vocals, the band presents Jordan Klapman on piano, Glenn Anderson, drums, Igor Babich, sax, Kevin Laliberté, guitar and Jack Zorawski, bass. Wonderful food and lovely drinks will accompany this performance for a fun and romantic evening!
