Requisites

Dynamic: This 1958 classic boasts the talents of the legendary Pittsburgh jazz and soul vocalist Dakota Staton. Tasteful and swinging, with an alternation between lush orchestra arrangements and intimate combo settings, the album coheres beautifully and represents Staton in fine form. This is her sophomore project on the heels of her critically acclaimed “The Late, Late Show” with an addition four previously unreleased tracks added to the re-mastered compact disc. Staton has redefined jazz singing as pure fun!
