Title: Nancy King- A Pleasure to Hear
Review: Nancy King shows how a vocalist can sing with 'in the pocket' rhythm, deep emotion, and great scatting! She improvises with incredible skill; her phrasing always within the structure of the song and her harmonic ear is flawless. This duo with pianist, Fred Hersch, is like hearing two good friends having a close and meaningful conversation. Their individual styles compliment one another perfectly. It's such a joy to hear Nancy, now on a major label, and grammy-nominated at last! This is a live recording- no overdubbing- and, having personally heard her at several live concerts, I say without reservation that this is Nancy at her best- a true jazz vocalist.
