| Welcome to the
sound of Gradie Stone. Gradie is not just another chick singer, she is a
cut far above the rest. Her swinging soulfulness and thoughtful phrasing
are unsurpassed. This recording, "Gradie Stone Live!", is the
long anticipated follow-up to her debut recording on Niki Records,
"After All These Years". That recording, which spent sixteen
weeks in the top forty on the Gavin charts, brought Gradie fans from all
over the country, and this new recording will certainly expand that
base.
Recorded live at a concert in
Paterson, NJ, the CD showcases a singer at the top of her game. Backed
by Vince Ector on drums, Mike DiLorenzo on piano, Rick Crane on bass,
Vinnie Cutro on trumpet, and Tony Scally on guitar (Some of the best
players in the New York area.), the CD swings from top to bottom. There
are also three bonus tracks, ballads recorded live at the Supper Club in
Montclair, NJ. This is a recording you're going to want to go back to
time and time again and your listeners will be glad you do.
