A clear jazz voice that resonates in the silence
This album by jazz vocalist Shigeko Suzuki focuses on standards, but also includes bossa nova and pop songs, all sung with her own unique perspective.
Her vocals are exquisitely controlled, and even though she sings in a whisper, she conveys the delicate nuances of her words. Her accompaniment is often simple, centered around piano and acoustic guitar, and the tranquil acoustic space further accentuates the clarity of her voice. Through her filter, famous songs like "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Distant Shadows" are transformed into introspective, personal music.
