“Ms. Sutton is a pure jazz spirit who respects a song. Even when going out on an improvisatory limb, she never lets its essence slip away.” — The New York Times
An 9-time Grammy nominee, Tierney Sutton has received 8 Nominations for “Best Jazz Vocal Album” as well as a 9th for arranging. Known for her impeccable voice and superbly imaginative arrangements, Sutton is heralded for her ability to transform even the most familiar song into a revelation. She is a story-teller.
Her 15 recordings as leader have addressed themes such as materialism and the pursuit of happiness as well as paying tribute to the music of Bill Evans, Frank Sinatra and Sting. Her 2013 Joni Mitchell tribute, “After Blue” featured NEA Jazz Master Hubert Laws as well as jazz vocal legend Al Jarreau. Her latest album, “Paris Sessions 2” features Serge Merlaud, Kevin Axt and Hubert Laws. The pandemic found Tierney deepening her collaboration with piano powerhouse Tamir Hendelman. This exciting duo has an album in the works. Director Clint Eastwood has called Sutton “my favorite singer”and hired her, along with TSB pianist Christian Jacob and The Tierney Sutton Band to score his 2016 film, “Sully.”
Since 1993 Sutton has fronted The Tierney Sutton Band which has featured instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt and Ray Brinker. After 29 years together with the same personnel, Tierney has recently opened the band to exciting new members, yet retaining the same creative, united energy that has fueled the last 3 decades.
