This was an exquisite performance. Ms. Sutton is one of the best jazz vocalists performing today.

Good Lord, this is the best performance I've seen in a loooooooooong time! Such phrasing and intonation! And the guitar is so sweet! I am in awe!

Tierney sings with her hands and entire temple... ahhhhhh the muse simply toys with her marvelous control.. she has fun with each note and nuance.

Kevin Axt est un bassiste extraordinaire et d’une rare musicalité…toujours prêt pour servir la musique . Sa façon d’accompagner ici est extrêmement judicieuse et développe un tapis rouge pour la mélodie .

Ey, je vais ptet prendre des cours avec lui, c'est bon à savoir!! :)

Gorgeous !

just guitar and voice, so beautiful.

Oh my! These guys. Magnificently sensitive performances.

I first heard Tierney when she was a finalist at the T. Monk competition in the 90s. The tremolo seems to be a relatively recent development. As singers age, it often becomes more pronounced. People either like or dislike it, I am in the latter category.

I have nothing more to add .Magnificent! !

Truly Professional, can tell they have studied and practiced their craft!

Wonderfull!

great !!!

beautiful!

Great tune and great performance!...and Kevin is one of the best bass players out there! Just sayin...

Yes Serge !

The great guitarist serge merlaud from paris

Nice. Bass chords - interesting.

Hello !Serge c'est du très très beau !! à quand la prochaine Jam avec Doudou Bises de Charles

To bad no one identifies the guitarist on this world wide example of his style.

Hey Tierney, you ignored Kevin Axt in the end.... that was rude, lady! or perhaps the camera didn't catch that moment? Poor Kevin...

Perhaps Kevin had a featured moment elsewhere in the concert where she choose to shine the spotlight on him? I find introducing the entire band less effective that spotlighting individual members here and there.

The best version of this song is Amy Winehouse's Jools holland one. This is nice too though.

I agree, it is better when sung on 11 with a Jafaican accent.

Have you heard Etta Jones' version? Tierney's is lovely....ethereal

Great singing and guitar playing - with a wonderful guitar tone. I do have severe misgivings about the bass players' insistence on using 10ths throughout - given that this is a ballad some nice sustained bass notes with vibrato would sound a whole lot better - I speak as a bass player myself, with some experience of arranging songs for singers in small ensembles.

@@damovanb No, I'm not jealous, just a critical observation. I play and teach bass, it's part of what I do. If you like this choice of bass line, good for you. I don't, because I wanted to hear more variety from the bass line. We are allowed to say what we feel in the comments section, and you are just as free to say what you think as am I. I find it strange that you would seek to attribute a negative emotion to what is a purely an analysis of the music.

@@damovanb Well, whatever floats your boat. As it happens, my main instrument is piano. On piano, one would not normally use 10ths exclusively in the left hand (bass register) either (ie just using parallel movement). Rather, when using open harmony chords one would normally use a mixture of root position and inverted chords in order to create a bass line which had it's own lower melody line to form it's own counter melody. Let's take an example of open harmony chords in the bass of the piano: The chord of *F major* (bass notes F, C, A) then *C major* 1st Inversion (bass notes E, C, G) then *D minor* (bass notes D, A, F) followed by *G major* 1st Inversion (bass notes B, G, D) make for a descending bass line (bass notes F - E - D - B) which are more coherent than merely using all root position chords, where the bass line would jump around more and not be so interesting, nor would it easily fall under the fingers (the inferior bass line would then be as follows: F - C - D - G).

Hi. Just thought I’d weigh in on this. Music is largely subjective and there is really little that is “right” or “wrong”. Part of the freedom of improvised music is the opportunity to express yourself as you wish in a manner that you hope elevates the moment as much as possible. The choices I made were what I felt suited this ensemble best, and the process was and is collaborative. In other words, my cohorts were supportive in my choices. Just a little history; when we recorded the album for this project in Paris I’d never played with Serge before. He prefers to play single line solos rather than chord solos and I found that playing single bass notes often felt like an empty and unsatisfying accompaniment. I wanted to give him more support. My first instrument was guitar so I’m pretty comfortable chording on bass and that solution seemed to be much more satisfactory. I don’t strum the chords, I pluck them note by note like a classical guitar which allows me to give a little extra weight to the bass note of the chord. If you listen with headphones you’ll hear that I try to always have the root of the chord stand out. Anyhow, hope that sheds a little light!

Nice voice (bit too much vibrato for my taste) Nice guitar. But when not singing, perhaps the singer could just listen without making the "faces".

Not a patch on Rufus/Chaka Khan-version I'm afraid. Tierney's vibrato is irritating and getting in the way of this gorgeous song-shame. guitar is great though

Nice voice, but she’s weird. No one tops Edyie Gormet with this song! 😊🎵🎶

Do not like her vibrato (tremolo) at all, but she has a nice tone. She's better on other songs. Great guitar.

Worked with her last Saturday. Her vibrato was gorgeous and it doesnt “break” any more. Ie it is a smooth sign wave with a little less amplitude if you get what i am trying to say.
