Tierney Sutton Band June 22, 2010

During its 15 years together, the Tierney Sutton Band has received 2 Grammy Nominations for Best Vocal Jazz Album, a JazzWeek Award for Vocalist of the Year, consecutive nominations for Jazz Journalist Association Awards, recorded several CDs that made the #1 spot on jazz radio playlists, and garnered critical praise throughout the world. Comprised of vocalist Tierney Sutton and instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt and Ray Brinker, the band has headlined in recent years at Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl and Jazz at Lincoln Center and has appeared at the Monterey, Marciac and Umbria jazz festivals. To date they have recorded seven CDs, each resulting in increasing recognition and acclaim. The band's most recent disc, "On the Other Side", was released in February '07 and was hailed by Business Week "A Masterpiece...eloquent, honest and magnificently sung and played." Still, the band's greatest accomplishment is its continuing commitment to unity, excellence and creative collaboration. All musical arrangements as well as business decisions are made by the band members as full partners. A concert by the Tierney Sutton Band is an experience of rare and powerful harmony achieved by humble performers at the top of their game. Critics agree that the reason this band endures can be found in it's music: "Phenomenal rapport"..."the chemistry is palpable"..."telepathic give and take"..."a serious artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level"..."top-flight one and all"..."total connection"..."a seamless blend with superlative bandmates"..."an uncanny display of spirit and unity."
