Search - Mary Stahl :: Dream A Dream- A Collection Of Lullabies

Mary Stahl has found an unexplored musical style. Blending the standard with a jazz- cabaret feel, Stahl occupies a unique niche. She performs this amalgam in a personal manner that is simultaneously sultry and girlish, swinging and sentimental. Her style is inspired by old masters like Anita O?Day and Ella Fitzgerald, but it is her persona that infuses these songs with new energy and flair. Stahl?s audiences can hear Mary smile when she sings, for in her forceful yet understated way, emotional communication is at the core of her performances. Each line of the lyrics is delivered with meaning and feeling, both for Mary and the audience. On her new recording, "Dream a Dream ?A Collection of Lullabies" she adopts a softer and smoother style where she explores a tender and more quiet place. As Mary states, "However, whenever, wherever a little one is cradled in loving arms, the same inexplicable sweetness is born anew. A lullaby embodies an instinctive tenderness because over the ages, every culture has known the same moon and stars, the same salty tears and the same miracle of a love full of wonder and boundless possibility. Lullabies are handed down one generation and one dream at a time and its always alive in one moment- your very own. Sweet dreams."
