Product Information

Vocalist Kelley Johnson's glistening sound stands out for its emphatic clarity and direct delivery. On »Something Good«, her 5th recording, Kelley presents songs as soundscapes, from lesser-heard repertoire such as Sondheim's »Anyone Can Whistle«, or The Carpenters' »Goodbye to Love«, to reimaginings of golden standards, Cole Porter's »You Do Something to Me«, or »Unforgettable.«

With inventive arrangements by Johnson and John Hansen, her pianist of the last two decades, her band of Hansen, bassist Michael Glynn, NY drummer Kendrick Scott and special guest, Jay Thomas, delivers a fresh outlook, adding depth and expansiveness to this already substantial musical collection.

Rezensionen

»Kelley Johnson zieht den Blues aus dem Nichts. Das tiefe Gefühl, mit dem sie interpretiert, bürgt für eine intensive Auseinandersetzung. Es ist echt. Johnson ist ein wahrer Vermittler.« (All About Jazz)
