Tierney Sutton: I'm With the Band
by Jim Santella
Despite the support of a stellar piano trio and sterling musical arrangements, Tierney Sutton turns in a lackluster performance on her first live recording. Recorded at Birdland earlier this year, the session of jazz standards and early popular songbook selections follows a melodic course. Inhibited and determined to get every note just right, the singer interprets ...
Tierney Sutton: I'm With The Band
by Stephen Latessa
Reviewers tend to spend a good amount of time talking about technique and other matters while bypassing the simple question of whether a voice or instrument sounds good. But the sound of vocalist Tierney Sutton's wonderful, supple voice is hard to get around; it's just a pleasure to hear. Pairing her with a talented, sympathetic band, ...
Tierney Sutton: Dancing in the Dark
by Jack Bowers
Tierney Sutton's latest Telarc release celebrates the music of Frank Sinatra--not the ring-a-ding-ding, devil-may-care, wise-cracking leader of the Rat Pack who was the epitome of hipness and bravado, but, as Sutton observes in the liner notes, the “dark corners" of Sinatra's work that she finds “endlessly compelling." The mood is hushed, sentimental and pensive as Sutton ...
Sounding Sinatra: Tierney Sutton Performs at the Kennedy Center
by Franz A. Matzner
As good as a recording may be, there is just no substitute for a live performance. More often than not, an album can obscure hidden talents, and even the best releases, no matter how powerful, lack the vitality and immediacy of music in the flesh. Tierney Sutton's recent performance at the Kennedy Center's Jazz Club proved ...

Tierney Sutton: Dancing in the Dark: Inspired by the Music of Frank Sinatra
by C. Michael Bailey
Tierney Sutton is neither a “snake charmer" (in 1940s parlance), nor a “chanteuse" (in anemic 21st century vernacular). She is a jazz singer (to the moronic print and advertising media who ineffectually write about her as if her talent were mere aptitude). Ms. Sutton is no stranger to the electrons floating in this space (nor to ...

Tierney Sutton: Something Cool
by Roger Crane
I don’t ordinarily drink with strangers, I most usually drink alone,” states the lonely (and probably faded) lady in Billy Barnes’ masterful song, “Something Cool.” Tennessee Williams could have inspired this Blanche Dubois like heroine and it takes a singer with a talent for language, prosody and pacing to perform this story song convincingly. Tierney Sutton ...
Tierney Sutton: Something Cool
