VOCALS Heather Ferguson: Lush Life

Warm toned and streetwise vocalist Heather Ferguson mixes and matches moods with a team of Dr. Tony Genge/p-org, Joey Smith/g-b, Damian Graham/dr, Miguelito Valdes/tp and  Barrie Sorenson/sax, sharing the spotlight with each on various standards.

Genge’s organ gets smoky with the husky Ferguson on “Lush Life”, while she gets relaxed and blusey with Sorenson’s alto sax for “At Last”. There’s a nice shuffle pulse to “All The Things You Are” and the team lingers on “Body And Soul”. A late night feel is oozed out for “Lover Man” and a 70s hip feel gets down for “The Look Of Love”. Well blanketed covers.
