Zena James - Tell Me More
Tell Me More blends cool bass and voice intros to elegant swing and strong blues-based tunes with occasional detours into sultry latin rhythms and modern pop grooves. Featuring two original tunes, a versatile collection of well-known and more unusual jazz standards and even a gospel-influenced Motown track. Tell Me More.... is an album that displays real passion and character. Zena James - vocals Geoff Castle - piano Geoff Gascoyne - bass Mike Bradley - drums Simon Allen - tenor, alto, soprano sax "A triple play from Zena James - love it to bits ....you'll be hearing a lot more from this album over the coming weeks at Smooth Fm" Dave Brown - Smooth FM, Jan 2007 "A new British jazz talent worth listening out for is Zena James, whos debut album Tell Me More is an impressive opus..." Charles Waring - Record Collector, April 2007 "Commanding and expressive,,, if you like your mainstream jazz coming from a blues soul perspective - think Eva Cassidy rather than Dinah Washington - then this CD won't disappoint." Selwyn Harris - Jazzwise, March 2007
