"The find is Jacqui Naylor... making something startling of 'In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning'."

"One of the classiest singers EVER! Fascinating is too mundane a word to describe her eloquence and phrasing."

<"b00000irfb4999"> Album Description
Singer Jacqui Naylor, whose sophisticated vocal style is often compared to the jazz legends of the _30s and _40s, releases her debut album on the Ruby Records label. Naylor_s recording includes interpretations of jazz standards and forgotten classics as well as original music written for the artist. The artist_s olde-style, yet unique sound floats over the CD_s well-orchestrated arrangements and reminisces the bygone days of truly great jazz singers with hints of Billie Holiday, June Christy and Nina Simone. While influenced by the singers and horn players of an earlier era, Naylor_s experience as a featured soloist with San Francisco's Sacred Heart Gospel Choir adds depth and spirit of gospel to her timeless renditions. L.A. Jazz Scene calls Naylor's voice "precise, languorous and very sexy." Subtle vocal interpretations, relaxed tempos and economical instrumentation characterize Naylor's treatment of compositions by Gershwin, Kern, Carmichael and others, creating an album described by critics and fans as "soulful" and "intimate."
