Curtis Stigers: Lost In Dreams
STIGERS brings a loose, after-hours feel to a varied selection of songs on Lost In Dreams, his 10th album.
The saxophonist and vocalist is of Diana Krall’s generation but roughs it up with convincing old-school aplomb.
With a voice like an uncut diamond, Stigers goes for raw feeling rather than sophistication, driving his small band on John Lennon’s Jealous Guy or Bye Bye Blackbird.
Whatever the song, the delivery is heartfelt and finger-snappingly right.
