O’s Notes: Andy James is a talented artist who started her career as a Flamenco dancer before becoming a jazz singer in high demand. She has a thick, warm voice that she pours over a swinging, large ensemble. Her band includes arranger Bill Cunliffe (p), John Patitucci (b), Vinny Colaiuta (d), Alex Acuña (perc), Wayne Bergeron (t), Bob Sheppard (fl, sax), Rick Margitza (sax), Terell Stafford (t), Michael Dease (tb), Jake Langley (g) and several others. It’s tough to go wrong with all that talent and James comes through on Tu Amor delivering eleven classic popular selections with a Latin twist.
