Jeanette Berry’s Statement:

“Intersections began as just a standards album. Once we recorded “I Wish You Love,” I realized this would be bigger than just a demo record. The energy was wild, and the musicianship was the highest I’ve been around. I am in my best voice and most confident on this record, and I’m so excited to get this out to the world.”
