On I'm With The Band, jazz vocalist Tierney Sutton's performances at New York City's Birdland venue highlight the musical kinship and tight-knit connection she has come to enjoy with her 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.

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).
