Daydream- Vinyl
"Daydream" is more than an album—it's a story. It traces the journey of a young girl from a barn in Springfield, Oregon, dreaming of a life led with music, to becoming a celebrated jazz vocalist living the vibrant, glamorous life in Los Angeles. Each track embodies a piece of this dream, from quiet moments of longing to the thrill of performing under the city lights. With breathtaking vocal performances and masterful arrangements, this album reimagines timeless classics like "Over the Rainbow" and "Falling in Love with Love" while introducing fresh takes on singles like Linda Ronstadt’s "You’re No Good" and Ella Fitzgerald’s "Day Dream." The album blends soulful vocals, dense harmonies, and masterful improvisation, immersing listeners in a rich, evocative soundscape. Featuring the artistry of jazz greats, all tied to Gina’s Los Angeles experience, including Lyman Medeiros, Matt Politano, Mark Ferber, Walter Smith III, Matt Otto, Ron Stout, and Joe Bagg. The album is a reection of the dreams, realities, and memories that shaped her 25-year career performing in Los Angeles. Now back in Oregon, Saputo invites listeners to share in the wonder of those early daydreams that became her reality.
