This Sheffield-based latin jazz band fronted by
internationally acclaimed vocalist Sally Doherty
have just released their new album, Second Time
Around, following on from their debut "Foolish Heart". With Piero Tucci on piano and accordion, Colin Elliot
on double bass and Phil Johnson on drums, the
playing is excellent. Guest musicians on the album
include Shez Sheridan on Spanish guitar, Liz Hanks
on cello, Donald Grant on violin along with Red
Skies String Ensemble.
The songs slip effortlessly
from gentle ballads to
Brazilian bossa nova and
samba, then from swing to
Mexican and Cuban boleros
with stunning performances
throughout. Sally’s
beautiful singing slides
seamlessly between English,
Portuguese and Spanish.
“I defy anyone not to be charmed by the subtleties of her voice”
—John Chalk, Cinnamon Club
Sally has performed as a guest vocalist with Peter
King, Neil Yates and with Alan Barnes, and has
opened for Cleo Laine and Alex Wilson.
This is her second latin jazz release but her ninth
album release. Her work has been distributed
worldwide. She has also been involved in many
collaborations including with Italian dance outfit
Planet Funk and she recently sang with the Mercury
music prize nominee Richard Hawley on his new
album, Lady’s Bridge.
