Leidenschaftliche, robuste Sängerinnen, die mit einer Sensibilität einer Carmen McRae oder Dinah Washington singen, sind nicht gerade an jeder Ecke zu finden. Da macht Mary Stallings Rückkehr in die Studios eine gewaltige Ausnahme! Ihre Stimme ist modern und zeitlos auf einmal, und repräsentiert irgendwie gleichzeitig die Geschichte des Jazzgesangs. Für ihr tolles Debüt für HighNote hat Mary Stallings - als ehemalige Kollegin von Cal Tjader, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie und anderen - die Segel durch ein Programm von Standards und selteneren Jazz Songs gespannt, die sie mit Eleganz und Leichtigkeit und einer dunklen, bluesangehauchten Phrasierung mit Hilfe des Pianisten und Arrangeur Eric Reed darbietet. Eine Stimme, die man entdecken muss. “Perhaps the best jazz singer alive today is a woman almost everybody seems to have missed. Her name is Mary Stallings.” --New York Times
Passionate, robust singers with the sensitivity of a Carmen McRae and the sass of a Dinah Washington aren't exactly thick on the ground these days which is what makes Mary Stallings' return to the studios a cause for rejoicing. Her voice is, at once, contemporary and timeless, encompassing the entire history of jazz vocals. For her HighNote debut, Mary Stallings, a former colleague of Cal Tjader, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie and others sails through a program of standards and obscurities with elegance and ease, her slightly blues-tinged phrasings beautifully supported by pianist and arranger Eric Reed. “Perhaps the best jazz singer alive today is a woman almost everybody seems to have missed. Her name is Mary Stallings.” --New York Times
