O’s Notes: Tianna Hall is a Houston based vocalist who marries jazz and blues with a mellow band leading to an easy listening set. Never Let Me Go features her take on the American songbook. The tunes are upbeat backed by a swinging quartet featuring guitarists Mike Wheeler and Mike Nase with Lisa Vosdoganes (cello) and James Metcalfe (perc). Tianna’s vocal tone is warm and inviting placed center stage. Yet she wisely shares the stage with her capable compatriots who strengthen the session and add refreshing depth as on “I Wanna Be Around” and “You Don’t Know What Love Is”. We also enjoyed her inclusion of two Jobim tracks notably “Samba do Avião. She is a rising talent.
