Reviews
of the CD "On My Way to You"
|
Slow-burning,
romantic songs with a touch of the dramatic are singer Alyson Green's
speciality, judging by her selection of material for this, her second
album. Leslie Bricusse's 'When I Look in Your Eyes', the Shirley Horn
favourite 'Here's to Life' and the Michel Legrand-penned title-track
all suit her sincere, heart-on-sleeve, confiding style perfectly, and
the unfussy but elegant arrangements of pianist Mark Edwards, not to
mention the accomplished playing of the likes of John Parricelli, Andy
Cleyndert and Troy Miller (plus the odd solo from saxophonist/flautist
Ben Castle) all contribute to a classy recording.
Chris Parker - VortexJazz.co.uk June 2009 "With
songs ranging from a ravishing version of Dmitiri Tiomkin's Wild is
the Wind through an intimate reinterpretation of Kate Bush's Man with
the Child in his Eyes , and dancing her way through Kirsty McColl's
Celestine, Alyson Green's CD 'On My Way to You' is a treat. Sarah

June 2009 "A wonderfully eclectic choice of material again by Green who demonstrates beautifully that rare and unique gift of singing from the heart. Combined with inspired arrangements by Mark Edwards this new CD is a real step-up in this promising artist's career" Claire Martin - Presenter Jazz Line Up - Radio 3 June 2009 |
