Description:
On her fourth album for Benyo Music, New Yorker Nanette Natal continues her vocal quest for a sophisticated & daring exploration of standard material. The album has just seven cuts, but there is just under a hour of music, which means that each tune receives extended attention from the group, giving them plenty of time to explore every nook & cranny, every twist & turn on the melody. Natal is one of the preeminent apostles of scatting & wordless vocalizing; in her improvisional approach & in her voice, she draws upon the likes of such artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Sheila Jordan & Jeanne Lee. |
