Chris McNulty - The Song That Sings You Here (2012)

“This recording, the tune selections, my two compositions and the treatment concept, all took place before my beautiful beloved and cherished son, Sam departed this world (July 16th, 2011). Nothing has been changed or altered in any way. My composition “Long Road Home - The Song that Sings you Here” was completed in 2008. The title for this recording was chosen in 2010. As I listen back now, it strikes me that much of this album sounds like it was conceived after Sam left us. I have no explanation for this except to say that every song I sing, I sing for him. I sing him here, always.”
A rich, expressive voice soaked in swing and blues. An ability to improvise that’s straight from the heart. Wonderfully expressive, demonstrating soaring confidence. Her intonation and articulation are commanding. Liquid phrasing, luminous tone, a voice of serene beauty and striking veracity.
