Kate McGarry - Mercy Streets -

She draws from many genres

Kate McGarry covers a lot of territory on her recent CD, ''Mercy Streets" her second for Palmetto Records.

There's the Peter Gabriel tune ''Mercy Street" from which the CD more or less takes its name. There are arty pop tunes by Joni Mitchell (''Chelsea Morning") and Björk (''Joga"). A handful of jazz standards.

A Brazilian piece by McGarry favorite Toninho Horta. And original compositions by McGarry (''Going In"), her guitarist-husband, Keith Ganz (''Snow Picnic"), and the CD's guest pianist on two tracks, Fred Hersch (his own ''Stars" and Björk's ''Joga")....
