For those unaware, triple-threat female powerhouse Ginetta M. plays Pocket Trumpet, sings, composes and leads her internationally acclaimed band Ginetta’s Vendetta around the world as a recognized UNESCO Jazz Ambassador.

She is continually spreading the Gospel of Jazz, what she calls “America’s Greatest Export”, through festivals, tours, gigs, workshops, podcasts and more.

This Alumna of North Texas State University is unstoppable and consistently redefining musical and professional boundaries.

On her sixth CD as a bandleader, Fun Size, she features a stellar line up of NYC’s best musicians which includes Jon Davis on Piano, Danny Walsh on Tenor & Soprano Sax, Marcello Pellitteri on Drums, and Belden Bullock on Bass.

Oh, and she is also the arranger on all the tunes, as well as composer on two of the selections!

1. Ginetta
2. Blues for Pop-Pop (Holy Man)
3. There Will Never Be Another You
4. Black Orpheus
5. Tell Your Story Walkin’
6. Moon River
7. All Blues
8. Little Sunflower
9. It Could Happen to You
10. Misty
11. Christmastime
12. Ginetta (Alternative Take)
13. Blues for Pop-Pop (Holy Man) (Alternative Take)

This organically hued new recording opens on the spirited Ginetta and the dutifully impassioned Blues for Pop-Pop (Holy Man), and then we get the swirling There Will Never Be Another You, the gently frenetic, yet luxuriously empowered Black Orpheus, the flourishing Tell Your Story Walkin’, before the elegantly-sculpted, vocalized Moon River is brought forth.

Along next is the playfully flirtatious All Blues and the near ten minute firecracker Little Sunflower, and they are in turn followed seamlessly by the rhythmically melodious It Could Happen to You, the languishing Misty, the album rounding out on the holiday tune Christmastime (a bonus here, which comes from her upcoming 2025 Christmas album) and a lonesome ode that drives an alternate take on Ginetta, closing on a robust alternative take of Blues for Pop-Pop (Holy Man).
