Catherine Russell

'I like whatever music sounds good to me': Catherine Russell reflects on the music that shaped her

Catherine Russell is one of the hardest-working vocalists performing today, and she has two sets on New Year's Eve at the Regattabar in Cambridge. Ahead of the shows, she spoke with Al Davis and Va Lynda Robinson about her recent work with Sean Mason, her early days with Steely Dan, and a childhood encounter with Louis Armstrong that still shapes her performing today.
