New Release Shines Spotlight on Songwriting and Orchestration
I’m thrilled to share “That Doesn’t Matter,” the first single from Caity Gyorgy’s upcoming string‑orchestra album, which dropped on May 16—a seamless blend of jazz phrasing and classical orchestration co‑written by Gyorgy and veteran arranger Mark Limacher. The track showcases Gyorgy’s fluid vocal delivery dancing atop Limacher’s sweeping strings, creating a mood that feels intimately personal and grandly cinematic.
Mark Limacher’s arrangement lends a lush, Mancini‑inspired backdrop to Gyorgy’s warm storytelling, with strings that swell at just the right moments to underscore every lyrical turn. Together, they’ve crafted a composition where each phrase feels thoughtfully placed, and where the sweeping orchestra movements elevate Gyorgy’s voice in evocative, unexpected ways
Critics have long noted how Gyorgy’s originals “sound as if they are from the 1950s with more modern lyrics,” and “That Doesn’t Matter” shines a fresh spotlight on her ability to evoke the timeless elegance of the Great American Songbook—those golden‑age melodies of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley—from the 1920s through the ’50s, all while infusing them with contemporary clarity and emotional depth.
2025 has already been a landmark year for Caity. Fresh off her third JUNO Award win for Hello! How Are You? in March—an achievement that underscores her mastery of both songwriting and arrangement—she’s poised for a breakout summer on the world’s biggest jazz stages, from the Montreal International Jazz Festival to the Monterey Jazz Festival.
But the real magic happens live. I can’t wait to welcome Caity for her Buffalo debut in the Mary Seaton Room at Kleinhans Music Hall on Saturday, June 21 at 7:30 PM. There, you’ll hear her celebrated standards and originals—and discover the splendor of Caity Gyorgy.
