Search - Daryl Sherman :: Lady Must Live

"A Lady Must Live" with a sense of humor and sauciness

09/14/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here is a recording that is state-of-the-art, with engaging songs, first-rate accompaniment, a performer with a keen sense of jazz who can find the humor within, and a voice that can be disarmingly sexy and yet slightly ironic. Sherman is a terrific pianist, performing in a mainstream jazz mode that is complex in its harmonies but easy on the ear. Although a jazz musician, Sherman is also attentive to the words. Listen to "Fun To Be Fooled," a complex melody and a lyric demanding maturity to communicate its irony to the listener, With the confidence to be playful and sexy, Daryl Sherman's own musicianship is abetted by some of the best talent to be found, none more so than producer, Jay Leonhart."

A lady must buy this album.

"Boy, what a voice and what a wide variety of interesting tunes and musicians. I'm pretty fussy about my singers, and I was dazzled. Thanks, Daryl Sherman. You comforted me through some long nights with your voice."
