Beata Pater: Golden Lady

Read "Golden Lady" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Beata Pater's vocal expertise is about shape, texture and the nuance informing both. Pater's B&B Records color-inspired trilogy, Black (2006), Blue> (2011) and Red (2013) was a critically well-received series that demonstrated the singers mastery of wordless singing in a large band format, pushing the creative envelope to the edge of its capacity. Pater's self-claimed influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Shirley Horn. But the spirit of Betty Carter permeates this disc in the durable elasticity that supports Pater's ...

Beata Pater: Blue

Read "Blue" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La vocalist polacca Beate Pater ha scelto di ispirarsi ai colori per i titoli dei suoi CD. Dopo il nero dell'esordio ecco ora il blu, cui faranno seguito CD dedicati al verde, al rosso e al bianco. Un modo di esprimersi che non può non riportare alla memoria i tre emozionanti film del regista suo connazionale Krysztof Kieslowski. Il disco, prodotto dalla Pater con sagacia insieme al tastierista Mark Little, risulta compatto e di facile ascolto. In scaletta troviamo, tra ...
