Artist/Band: |  | Stacey Kent | Name: |  | The Boy Next Door [180g 2LP] | Cat No.: |  | CJS-9993 | Performed by: |  | Stacey Kent (vocal) Jim Tomlinton (flute,tenor sax) Colin Oxley (guitar) David Newton (piano) Dave Chamberlain (bass) Matt Home (drums) Curtis Schwartz (vocal)
| Description: |  | 180g Double LP Remastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering!
A Collection of songs from some of Stacey Kent's musical heroes, from Tony Bennett to Paul Simon!
Stacey Kent's unique, distinctive style could best be described as classic chic. Ms. Kent's delicately nuanced interpretations of the Great American Songbook eloquently showcase the complex melodies and classy, sophisticated lyrics of American popular music during its golden ages. There is so much to admire: her dulcet-toned mezzo soprano, with its shimmery jazz lilt and translucent vibrato, her innate sense of swing and instinctive timing, her subtly shaded line readings, and the exquisite delicacy of her phrasing.
The Boy Next Door is a heartfelt and reverent tribute to Kent's musical heroes, which include legendary crooners Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, octogenarian jazz master Dave Brubeck and Manhattan cabaret doyen Bobby Short. The stylish jazz chanteuse's repertoire also finds her working outside the Great American Songbook for the first time, with contributions from latter-day pop songwriters Burt Bacharach, Paul Simon and Carole King. Kent puts her own indelible stamp on each number as she weaves her magic on a delectable collection of pop-jazz standards that encompass infatuation, seduction, love, loss and reminiscence.
She receives impeccable support from her sleek, urbane jazz quintet, whose rhythmic fluency is further enhanced by the tasteful, literate arrangements. Newton and Tomlinson, both accomplished musicians in their own right, also display hitherto unknown musical talents as they join Curtis Schwartz to provide tongue-in-cheek backing vocals for Stacey's deliciously bouncy rendition of "Ooh-Shoo-Be-Doo-Bee".
Originally released in 2003 by Candid Records. This vinyl reissue by Pure Pleasure Records, UK. | Eastwind Import Price: |  |
