Stacey Kent has become one of the most celebrated contemporary jazz vocalists, a jazz singer of the modern era who breathes new and exciting life into classic songs from big shows and films of yesteryear. Choosing unerringly from the vast, mostly American library of Tin Pan Alley songs, she has at hand a repertoire of the cleverest, most sophisticated lyrics and complex melodies ever written. And she is the perfect person to sing them… Just discover why she is making so much impact on both sides of the Atlantic: Stacey Kent comes at jazz much as Norah Jones approaches pop. With a light voice cast in just the right register to make every syllable clear, and an attention to the lyric detail of the song that is remarkable, she conveys the lyric content of a song better than anyone you have ever seen. If this sounds Sinatra-esque, it is. She and her top class band produce music that is cool, silky and apparently effortless.
