Curtis Stigers

saxophone

" data-original-title="" title="">Curtis Stigers �� un cantante pop che ha debuttato nel 1991 con brani di grande appeal commerciale come "I Wonder Why," "Never Saw a Miracle" e "You're All That Matters to Me." Per un decennio ha variato leggermente quel patinato blend di pop, soul, smooth jazz, folk e rock, fino ad abbracciare pi�� decisamente il jazz all'inizio del nuovo millennio. Ha una voce gradevole e interpreta con buon gusto il classico songbook della canzone americana, sul percorso tracciato da

" data-original-title="" title="">Nelson Riddle. Solo alcuni brani (come "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Summer Wind" e "They Can't Take That Away from Me") non erano presenti nel disco originale, pur appartenendo al repertorio di "The Voice."

Il compact �� un perfetto regalo per gli amici -dai quaranta in su -che seguono superficialmente il jazz. L'orchestra danese �� un organico d'eccellenti strumentisti e gli arrangiamenti sono eseguiti alla perfezione, con professionalit�� e calore, in una bell'alternanza di climi raffinati e swinganti. Stigers s'esprime con padronanza ritmica, brillantezza d'intonazione e buona sensibilit�� jazz. Altri cantanti (penso a
