Trzykrotnie nominowana no nagrody Grammy w kategorii "Best Jazz Vocal Album" podobnie jak inna amerykańska wokalistka Rene Marie pozostaje w Europie raczej mało znana.Od blisko 20 lat prowadzi The Tierney Sutton Band, z którym nagrała album "American Road", przez wielu krytyków jazzowych za oceanem oceniany jako "The best jazz album of 2011"."American Road by the Tierney Sutton Band. Thus far the best jazz album of 2011. Stunningly brilliant. Essential listening" - Chris Loudon – Jazz Times."Tierney Sutton is among a group of artists who “may have come to epitomize what many think of as true jazz singers during the previous decade because of their brilliance in interpreting the classics.” With American Road, Sutton applies her deliberate, exquisitely controlled vocals to three songs from West Side Story and three songs from Porgy And Bess, as well as such traditional tunes as “Amazing Grace” and “The Water Is Wide.” On the latter song, she gracefully holds a note for 12 seconds. On her quintet’s arrangement of “On Broadway,” she toys with vowels as though they were taffy. But Sutton doesn’t grandstand. She climbs inside a melody and explores new territory. The pleasure of hearing standards involves the internal dialogue that occurs in the listener’s mind, where a previously known arrangement often is mingling with the new rendition. The Tierney Sutton Band, which has been around for 18 years, is capable of creating innovative interpretations of even the most well-known warhorses. Pianist Christian Jacob offers consistently tasteful accompaniment, and the band’s arrangements often include textures crafted by an acoustic bass and an electric one (courtesy of the quintet’s two bassists, Kevin Axt and Trey Henry)" by John Murph - DownBeat."Organic but deeply rooted in tradition, this exquisite release is perfect from start to finish…an almost instant classic" – digitaljazznews."Not since Gil Evans worked his magic with the first Miles Davis quintet has arranging had such a potent and important effect in small-combo jazz. This is top-notch, full-throttle jazz vocals" C.Michael Bailey - aboutjazz.com.Tracklista: 1. Wayfaring Stranger2. Oh Shenandoah/ The Water Is Wide3. On Broadway4. Amazing Grace5.

The highly-gifted violinist and dancing master Pantaleon Hebenstreit (1667-1750) came upon the idea of devoting himself to the dulcimer and to try to see if he could perfect it and produce on it that which he was capable of on the clavier. He considerably enlarged the range of the rustic type of instrument and turned the diatonic instrument into a chromatic one. He achieved such skill on his perfected dulcimer that he progressed in a breathtaking career to being one of the most popular virtuosos of his time. In 1705 he performed at Versailles in front of Louis XIV (who supposedly named the instrument after its inventor). In 1708 he played for the Emperor in Vienna and was finally appointed as pantaleonist to membership of the Hofkapelle of Dresden, the most famous European orchestra at the time, in 1714. Hebenstreit had several pupils who achieved great fame. One of these was Maximillian Hellmann, for whom Caldara had composed in Vienna. It is highly likely that the popularity of the pantaleon prepared the ground for the later triumphant progress of the pianoforte (Hammerklavier): Around 1730 several central-German clavier-makers experimented with the mechanism of hammers hitting from above. Different string materials and the choice of hammers, which could be covered with different materials, lent the pantaleon an overwhelming richness of tone-colours and the possibility of great dynamic differentiation. The considerable range, the possibility of using two-voice strokes and arpeggios to describe the harmony, and the richness of sounds and colours raised the pantaleon to the rank of an instrument, »which from a miserable dulcimer has become the most complete of instruments, even more perfect than the claveci« (Stählin 1770), »in as much as it is the true forte piano, because our modern fortepiano is completely overshadowed by it.« (Kachel 1792) As reasons for the disappearance of the instrument in the second half of the 18th century, unresolved constructional problems, the unwieldy size of the instrument, the difficulties of tuning it and the high cost of maintaining the many strings (above all the gut strings), but also the tremendous difficulties of mastering the instrument are cited. Unfortunately no pantaleon exists to assist our attempt to get on the trail of the legendary instrument: the current state of research offers too few reference points for a reconstruction. Not a single original has survived, there are no construction designs or technically concrete descriptions whatsoever and similarly no definite illustrations of the instrument. The modern chromatic tenor dulcimer from Salzburg seems to us for the moment therefore to offer the best possibility of nearing the sound of the pantaleon - at least in its form with metal strings. Jürgen Banholzer and Margit Übellacker
