Klea Blackhurst: Autumn in New York: Vernon Duke’s Broadway
Brassy, sassy...Blackhurst truly excelled.
Brassy, sassy...Blackhurst truly excelled.
Vocals surround listeners with warmth, and the arrangements by pianist Tedd Firth are graceful, rich, and collaborative.
She had savoir faire and a truly gorgeous repertoire, and she was truly inspirational; in short, she was sublime.
Her clarion-toned, rangy contralto is fueled by elegant phrasing.
She’s mastered the power of storytelling, delivering her material quietly, but with the emotional force of a hurricane.
Sparkling, effervescent, delightful, and a joy to watch.
This is a sophisticated jazz CD.
The hallmark couple of cabaret.
Bridgewater aptly shared the highs and lows of Baker’s illustrious and entertaining life.
Cabaret's charismatic twosome.
