Kelley Suttenfield New CD "Among The Stars” -- Out Now!
Among The Stars is the second release for acoustic jazz vocalist Kelley Suttenfield. Known for her “passionate delivery that can penetrate hearts" (JazzReview), once again she embarks on a musical exploration—this time traversing through jazz and singer-songwriter territories, and landing squarely in the space between. This stripped-down and exceptionally intimate duo recording is a stark contrast ...
Kelley Suttenfield: Among The Stars
by Dan Bilawsky
Voice and nylon-string guitar. That's it. Nothing else to hear on this one, but nothing else is really needed. Vocalist Kelley Suttenfield's first album--Where Is Love (Rhombus Records, 2009)--was a well-crafted, full band affair that reimagined the works of everybody from Wes Montgomery ("West Coast Blues") to Caetano Veloso ("Coraçao Vagabundo") to The ...
Riverwalk Jazz Whenever You Want!
By Mick Carlon The only drawback to my all-time favorite radio show, Riverwalk Jazz, was that I had to wait until Saturday mornings to listen. No longer! Thanks to Stanford University’s Archive of Recorded Sound, twenty five years of this exalted show—over 350 radio shows, over 4,000 song performances—are now available twenty four hours a day, ...
Stacey Kent: Raconte-Moi
by Andrew Velez
The opening tune of this set, from the winning vocalist Stacey Kent, is Jobim-Moustaki's “Les Eaux de Mars." In its English-language version, “The Waters of March," this bossa gem was well-known as the exclusive property of the late and wonderful Susannah McCorkle. Kent proves to be a worthy inheritor of it and other tunes in this ...

Susannah McCorkle: Ballad Essentials
by Dave Nathan
Susannah McCorkle is the latest entry in Concord Jazz's Ballad Essentials series, and certainly is one of the most exceptional entries. Few singers of our generation or any had a way with a set of lyrics as McCorkle. She has the ability to brighten and ventilate even the most tired of tunes. Fortunately her taste in ...
Susannah McCorkle: Hearts And Minds
by Jim Santella
Susannah McCorkle put together her 15th Concord album as a program for both lovers and thinkers. But aren’t those two paradigms mutually exclusive? Where’s the common ground? The singer’s convincing performance makes it clear that good songwriters provide some of both. Dave Frishberg’s “My Attorney Bernie" appeals to our insightful side, while George & Ira Gershwin’s ...
Susannah McCorkle: Hearts & Minds
by Mathew Bahl
Listening to Hearts & Minds, it occurred to me that Susannah McCorkle very well might inherit the mantle of Champion of the Great American Songbook currently worn by Tony Bennett. Like Mr. Bennett, Ms. McCorkle believes that the standard repertoire is a living, breathing and, most importantly, ever expanding body of music that has something profound ...
