Tierney Sutton Band I Get a Kick Out of You

[caponsacchi]

Tierney's on the top tier with a mere several other vocalists, perhaps distinguished by her understanding of the singular brilliance of the Sinatra/Riddle tone poems of the Capitol years. Still, Roberta keeps looming larger as the complete musician, embodying the African-American art form in its entirety, making a point of seeking out and playing with all the greats--from Griffin to Jimmy Woode--before they passed. James Moody and Hank Jones were sincere in their calling her the best since Ella.

This is just beautiful! So creative and different. Your singing is great, Christian's solo also great!!. -- Fernando Gelbard

@LIQUIDJAZZ

I wholeheartedly agree. The first time I run across this video was when I was researching this standard for my repertoire. I now play it every night at "my" restaurant. This version is one of the best I've heard of this song.

HOLY MOLE!!!!!!!!!

I had the opportunity to meet her today at my college :) she is really nice and very cool, her band is superb

[rebrebekah]

Everyone's allowed their opinion! Personally, I find this easier to listen to if I'm not watching her. I don't feel much in the way of warmth or communication in her performance, which is why I scrolled down to read the comments...I then found it less clinical and more enjoyable to listen too.

[caponsacchi]

The reason may be that like most vocalists she cultivates her rhythm section and crafts original arrangements that are executed with unfailing, predictable precision. But Ella was like the great musician who simply laid it on the line, trusting their chops and knowledge of the jazz tradition to stay even with or out-create the withering competition that had joined them on the bandstand. Tierney is extremely good and polished, but Gambarini is like Bird or Diz, willing to risk it all each time.

[ManOfRhythm]

Great! Tierney is a Quality vocalist all the way! I loved her on Kelley Love's 'Foolin' with the Pandemonia Orchestra.

[ThatMysteryPianist]

Tierney Sutton is a deeply self absorbed woman. The vocal instrument is average. This swings about as much as a flat tire. She has a tendency to act toward her audience as if she's casting pearls before swine. This just goes to show how contemporary performers are not deeply grounded in the principles of playing in the pocket, and young listeners have no idea what constitutes swinging deeply.

[Pyrthas]

@ThatMysteryPianist I don't know anything about her as a person, so I can't comment on her being self-absorbed or dismissive of the audience. And I wholeheartedly agree that this does not swing. At all. (I don't quite see why a flat tire swings less than an inflated one, though.)

But I also think her ability is clearly above average, and that even if you think this is not properly jazz or something, it's not hard to see why many (certainly not all) fans of jazz vocalists are also fans of her.

[kryzay311]

@ThatMysteryPianist really? I mean, the people who gave her a record deal and the incredible musicians who play with her don't seem to think so. Maybe you should share your infinite wisdom with them, I'm sure they wouldn't want to stay with her once they know the truth. it's really not fair to keep them in the dark any longer.

by the way, who have you played with?

[ThatMysteryPianist]

@kryzay311 My wisdom is not infinite but I am quite sure of my experience with her. Obviously, I am being ugly here, not really identifying myself (thus the moniker) so sorry if my comments you find offensive. As for 'the people who gave her a record deal' are concerned, you obviously have no experience dealing with folks from record labels...mostly a bunch of numbers crunchers and not musicians. And, by the way, I've played with far better musicians than theselong before these kids were born.

[arquivosisaias]

@ThatMysteryPianist - I don´t understand wy keep secret about your knowledge. Normally it´s something to share with people. So tell us about these musicians you´ve played. Tell us who are those "swing deeply" singers...

[SONEROAZTECA7]

no words, absolutly delicious!!!

[blackflagskate]

what a piano solo!

[johnbresnik]

fantastic chord changes -- love 'em.

[JoeJamesSmith11]

Good band.

[bobjazz11]

Had the pleasure of working with these guys in Aarrau - Fabulous!

[tumerica]

GENIUS! Brilliant virtuosity in every measure. Both Tierney's magnificent and spot-on playful vocal stylings and the pianist, who's playing is miraculous--he looks as though each hand belongs to a different human. Delicious--I teared up--it was that amazing.

[mellowmotif]

great arrangement! with great singing and style, and what a bad ass solo! :)

[dahlia05hotmail]

I saw them live... wonderful concert :)

[relentLISS]

jenny6664 ~ go see them live if you ever get a chance. They put on a FANTASTIC show. Watch closely how the drummer uses his brushes.

[Confido999]

Jenny 6664. THey have at least six CDs out there--I have followed them from the beginning. That is some voice and feel for the music. It is all about the music with Tierney--glad to see her populating UTube finally!

[jenny6664]

Do they have any CD's? I wanna buy one.
