Description

 
In Dancing in the Dark Tierney Sutton salutes Frank Sinatra. Earlier, she paid tribute to Bill Evans with Blue in Green. The results in the Sinatra album are mellower than Sutton fans might expect--it's less Sinatra the hipster and more the Sinatra of such concept albums as In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning and Only the Lonely--and the tempos never rise above an easy swing. Although there's an orchestra, it's not really a "with strings" album: fewer than half the selections have strings, and those strings have been very subtly arranged (and conducted) by pianist Christian Jacobs. Sutton's usual trio--Jacobs, bassist Trey Henry and drummer Ray Brinker--provides the primary accompaniment, and in Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around" Jacobs shares a dazzlingly beautiful line with Sutton's wordless vocalese. And because "Fly Me to the Moon" has always been taken in either 3 or 4, Sutton acknowledges both by singing it in 7. Those are merely two memorable moments in an album that's full of them. --David Horiuchi
