In Dancing in the Dark Tierney Sutton salutes Frank Sinatra. Earlier, she paid tribute to Bill Evans with Blue in Green. The results in the Sinatra album are mellower than Sutton fans might expect--it's less Sinatra the hipster and more the Sinatra of such concept albums as In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning and Only the Lonely--and the tempos never rise above an easy swing. Although there's an orchestra, it's not really a "with strings" album: fewer than half the selections have strings, and those strings have been very subtly arranged (and conducted) by pianist Christian Jacobs. Sutton's usual trio--Jacobs, bassist Trey Henry and drummer Ray Brinker--provides the primary accompaniment, and in Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around" Jacobs shares a dazzlingly beautiful line with Sutton's wordless vocalese. And because "Fly Me to the Moon" has always been taken in either 3 or 4, Sutton acknowledges both by singing it in 7. Those are merely two memorable moments in an album that's full of them. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

Itýs Brilliant! The Best Vocalist in Years
Wow! I can't believe I get to put the first review for this CD! I have all the CDs from this band. Tierney has such a beautiful tone and her pitch is perfect. I think my favorite track is "Without a Song", it really blows me away. The pianist Christian Jacob has a great touch and after hearing him with Tierney I immediately bought the 2 Cds he did for Concord and the one he released on WilderJazz. This band has been together for years and you can hear that bond in every tune. This CD and a previous one "Blue In Green"are my two favorites. I give it 5 stars!!!
