  • Description

    State Of The Art is not only singer Dee Daniel's debut leader date for Criss Cross, but the label's first-ever release by a vocalist after three decades and hundreds of recordings by jazz' best and brightest.

    It's a worthy addition, the Seattle-born vocalist, who sang two numbers on Wycliffe Gordon's recent Criss Cross date The intimate Ellington, brings her richly textured multi-octave voice, instrumentally-flexible phrasing, and keen interpretative abilities to a program comprising 12 gems from various corners of the American Songbook.

    Enhancing the swinging, soulful, old-master flavor and 21st century feel are tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, who contributes testifying solos and obligatos throughout, and a sychronously grooving rhythm section with pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Paul Beaudry, and drummer Alvester Garnett.
