Sue Sheriff has been in love with jazz singing since childhood, but until recent years, fate had other plans for her. She has spent most of her life in New England, busy with a husband and children, a thriving real-estate practice, and later on, with a successful foray into the writing and performing of children’s music. Decades passed, more or less serenely. Then, when she was sixty, breast cancer struck. “I decided that it was time to follow my heart,” she says. Since then, Sue has devoted much of her time to rediscovering and honing the art of singing jazz. She sought out the best possible guide: fellow New Englander Rebecca Parris, one of the form’s greatest living practitioners. This debut album, produced by Rebecca, makes it clear that Sue has gained a lot of expertise. She sings with a light, swinging feel, a conversational lilt, and a smile in her voice. Her splendid musicians give her an airy cushion.
