Album Notes Personnel: Stacey Kent (vocals); John Parricelli (guitars); Jim Tomlinson (alto saxophone); Graham Harvey (Fender Rhodes piano); Dave Chamberlain (double bass); Matt Skelton (drums). Without coming off as a throwback, the approach of jazz singer Stacey Kent recalls grand dames of jazz singing like Peggy Lee and Anita O'Day. With her classy, clear tone, Kent masterfully embodies intimate understatement and a cosmopolitan Continental cool (befitting both her American roots and U.K. and French influences). Another distinctive aspect of Kent's style is her artful juggling of the Great American Songbook standards, her own originals (co-written by her husband, saxophonist Jim Tomlinson), and even contemporary pop ("Landslide" by Stevie Nicks), putting her singular stamp on them all.
Editorial Reviews [T]he angel-voiced Kent is paralleling a change in labels with an alteration in musical direction that is as welcome as it is exciting. JazzTimes
