Following the success of 2011's It Happens Quietly, which received widespread
critical acclaim and topped jazz charts around the world, the award-winning vocalist
Jacqui Dankworth releases her new album Live To Love. Whilst It Happens
Quietly tipped its hat to the past with interpretations of classic standards,
Live To Love offers a change of direction and features a selection of jazz,
soul and blues-infused original compositions alongside contemporary
covers of songs by Wayne Shorter, Johnny Mercer and Donny Hathaway.
Although known primarily as a jazz singer, Dankworth was described by
The Sunday Times as "one of our finest singers, regardless of category"
and has collaborated with a diverse array of musicians and groups throughout
her career including Marvin Hamlisch, Paloma Faith, Alan and Marilyn Bergman
and Chick Corea. In addition to four cover songs, Live To Love contains
some powerful original material in the form of All Is Quiet, a stark,
haunting ballad about human slavery written by Dankworth and bassist Geoff Gascoyne
and featuring a guest appearance by The Brodsky Quartet;
the album's title track, a laidback, gently affecting song written
by Dankworth's husband, pianist Charlie Wood; and a reggae-inflected
version of Tomorrow's World, a tune written by Dankworth's late father
to which she has added a "quantum mechanics" lyric.
A deeply personal album, Live To Love draws on Jacqui's thoughts
on life and love and charts her continuing growth as a sophisticated
singer of a wide spectrum of genres.
