I recently had the great privilege to have both seen and discovered Karen Briggs at a free performance at the First Baptist Church here in my hometown of North Hollywood, CA. And all I can say about this gifted jazz violinist is that she totally BLEW ME AWAY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!! SHE IS EXCELLENT!! Especially her version of AMAZING GRACE!! I will definitely go out and buy this CD and play it in my car!! And I pray to God that I can see her perform again!! May God bless you Karen Briggs!!
Simply beautiful! I am definitely a new FAN!!!! Will be buying and listening to ALL music, from this beautiful, talented lady! May God bless you in your life for sharing this gift from him!!!
Karen Briggs version of "Amazing Grace" brought me to tears. She actually made my ears hear her violin sound like another instrument AND her rendition was bluesy as well. She plays that violin like it's a part of her body, so talented and natural. Take a listen!!
When I heard Karen play "Amazing Grace" the first time, what my ears heard was play that violin but, made it sound like a blues guitar. I have on an old cassette tape but, what I wouldn't give to honor us by putting it a CD. She is the only artist I have EVER heard I my adult life to my knowledge that has been able to do that. Miss Karen, I want you to know I still keep a little cassette player around just to hear that tune over & over again!! You are truly one of the most talented female violinist in my life time.
