While the presence of jazz greats such as Berg and Hargrove do establish Wild is the Wind as a jazz vocal album, the selection of songs cross musical boundaries, ranging from Adult Contemporary, pop, and blues, with bits of Latin and cabaret adding spice. Kari Kirkland's voice is sultry and sensual, gently finding its place among the at-times ethereal, at times straight-ahead swinging arrangements courtesy of Berg. In addition to continually pursuing a career as a professional musician, Kari's peripatetic history includes being a former Ironman Triathlete competitor, a private chef, and perhaps the most significant of all, a flying trapeze and aerial bungee artist. Citing vocal inspiration from Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Eva Cassidy, and Nancy Wilson, Kari's vocal style and phrasing has been coined as "unique" by arrangers and producers alike.
