Liner Notes:
A soulful vocalist with a soaring,
sensuous quality, a sly, seasoned delivery and natural
sense of swing, Chris McNulty imparts her own unique
magic interpreting jazz standards, as she showcased
so confidently on last year's “I Remember You”.
On Dance Delicioso, her followup and fifth album overall,
the Australian-born singer showcases more of her own
considerable songwriting prowess as well as having her
way with Cole Porter's “All Of You,” Bobby
Troup's “Meaning of the Blues”, Gene DePaul's“Star
Eyes” and Annie Lennox's “Primitive.”
Backed by a crew of New York killers
in guitarist Paul Bollenback, saxophonists Gary Bartz,
Gary Thomas and Dave Pietro, pianists Mulgrew Miller,
John DiMartino and David Budway, bassist Ugonna Okegwo
and drummer Billy Hart, McNulty stakes out some Brazilian-flavored
territory on her “New Day,” “Only
The Silence” and the alluring title track. Her
poignant “Farewell” is performed as an intimate
duet with Bollenback on acoustic guitar while she reveals
some daring scat abandon on the modal romp “Roamin”.
And for a real change of pace, she affects a lush, chamber-like
aesthetic on the Celtic-flavored “He Moves Through
The Fair.”
McNulty distinguishes herself as
one of the elite jazz singers on the scene with this
tasty, varied program.
