{"product_id":"eva-cassidy-jazzed","title":"Eva Cassidy - JAZZED","description":"\u003cp\u003eJAZZED gathers Eva Cassidy's jazz performances together for the first time, ten American Songbook favourites pressed on 140-gram vinyl and framed by new arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCassidy's voice was a quiet marvel: pure, unforced and able to find fresh feeling in songs heard a thousand times. She died in 1996 having found little fame beyond the Washington, D.C. clubs she called home, and her reputation has grown steadily ever since. This collection draws on recordings made across her career, from 1987 to 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposer Christopher Willis has written four new band arrangements inspired by the classic big-band charts of Nelson Riddle and Billy May, adding swing and sparkle to It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) and At Last. Two more, You've Changed and Ain't No Sunshine, are wrapped in lush orchestral settings played by the London Symphony Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, her phrasing carries everything, unhurried and full of warmth, with standards written across six decades of the twentieth century given her own quietly personal stamp. She never oversings, and that restraint is where the magic lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor longtime admirers it offers a new way into a familiar voice, and for newcomers it is a warm, inviting place to start exploring a singer who deserved far more in her lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57188216045873,"sku":"739341012785","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Eva_Cassidy-JAZZED.jpg?v=1793289813","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/eva-cassidy-jazzed","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
