About

Singer / Songwriter/ pianist, Katrina Van Humbeck, has finally found her musical home in the vintage vibes of Jazz with her soon to be released fourth album, ‘Only Love.’  Honoured to have earned nominations from GMA (Gospel Music Awards Canada 2022 -Jazz Artist of the Year), and the WCMA (Western Canadian Music Awards 2020-Spiritual Artist of the Year), for her previous three albums, ‘Stronger Still’ (2022), ‘Doing A New Thing’ (2018), and ‘Blue and Beyond’ (2017). Katrina dug even deeper in this new musical collection to create subtle vocal nuances, tender expressiveness, and carefully crafted compositions that remind us of a time long ago.  Through these songs that speak of love, uniqueness, and searching for connection and intimacy, Katrina shares her deeper understanding and fascination for the jazz genre.  The message that rings forth is that it’s only love that we’re all looking for, and in the sincerest way possible, will fill the emptiness, lead the way, make a path, and satisfy every longing inside of us to be known and to truly know and accept others.  Impacted by the voices and sounds of the jazz greats, and a desire to create music that fits into this classic era, Katrina adds her own flare to cherished jazz standards, and carefully crafted original compositions that will remind you of vintage days gone by.  Recorded at Winnipeg’s own award winning Private Ear Recording, mixed and mastered at Tailored Recording, and featuring some of Canada’s finest jazz musicians, including Juno nominated Larry Roy (jazz guitar), Karl Kohut (Assistant Professor of Jazz studies /upright bass/ University of Manitoba), and seasoned jazz artitist, Jim Johnston (drums). May you feel the love as you experience this newest musical collection by Katrina Van Humbeck, ‘Only Love.’
