Dee Daniels- State of the Art (CD)
State of the Art is not only singer Dee Daniel's debut leader date for Criss Cross, but the label's first-ever release by a vocalist after three decades and hundreds of recordings by Jazz' best and brightest. It's a worthy addition-the Seattle-born vocalist, who sang two numbers on Wycliffe Gordon's recent Criss Cross date the intimate Ellington, brings her richly textured multi-octave voice, instrumentally-flexible phrasing, and keen interpretative abilities to a program comprising 13 gems from various corners of the American Songbook. Enhancing the swinging, soulful, old-master flavor and 21st century feel are tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, who contributes apropos testifying solos and obligatos throughout, and a synchronously grooving rhythm section with pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Paul Beaudry, and drummer Alvester Garnett.
Tracklist:
- Almost Like Being In Love
- Cherokee
- I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone
- He Was Too Good To Me
- I've Got You Under My Skin
- Night And Day
- I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart
- Willow Weep For Me
- Why Did I Choose You
- Summer Wind
- Loverman
- How High The Moon
