Title: Shows promise, but...
Review: The music fan from NY has a good point that I believe was somewhat misinterpreted by tippinin44. While it is true that technique is something to be admired, jazz is not all technique. Ms. Sutton clearly has outstanding singing technique, but lacks the style of a Diana Krall or a Norah Jones. While the latter two do not have impeccable vocal technique, they convey their intended styles much more effectively.Ms. Sutton's first track, Route 66, is the best track on the album. The groove is entirely different from all other renditions of this particular song, and her vocals are tastefully restrained. The rest of the CD, however, is a virtual vocal free-for-all. Melodies are barely visible and forms are often lost. This is not nearly as bad as the fact that the performances are almost completely flat. It seems more that the musicians are going through the routine of making an album rather than giving serious thought to it or allowing themeselves to be lost in the music.
