Regarding your info on Tieney Sutton's new album, I have to tell someone how I have only been a fan of hers since buying "I'm with the band" a month ago.

I've been a Diana Krall fan now for umpteen years. Now I'm a Diana Krall and a Tierney Sutton fan. In the past month I've purchased three more Tierney Sutton albums and probably will buy this one also. Please pass on my apologies to Tierney, not because of my "ignoring" her talents all these years but by not following all the jazz artists close enough. Tierney is FABULOUS and so is the "Band". I've read about her extensively in the past month and love the way she keeps the same people around. All too many people don't 'dance with those who brought you", she does and I love that and more about her.

Hi John!

When I first heard Ms. Sutton voice a few years ago, I instantly fell in love with it. It was around the time that I had initially started concentrating on jazz. The clearness of her voice - her tone is just lovely.

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for her music and I will certainly let her know about how you feel. :)
