O’s Notes: Polished jazz singer Tierney Sutton transforms a dozen popular classics into her own space. She takes a minimalist approach placing her voice immediately up front and stretches the notes without fear, always in pleasant tune. Christian Jacob (p), Kevin Axt (b), Trey Henry (b) and Ray Brinker (d) form the Tierney Sutton band providing ample support without intruding. They collectively worked on the fresh arrangements. We enjoyed “Summertime”, “On Broadway”, “Tenderly” and “The Eagle and Me” in a strong session.
