專輯解說：
美国发烧名厂TELARC旗下的Jazz系列出品极多，录音素质亦越来越发烧。新进爵士女歌手提儿妮·沙顿(Tierney Sutton)最新作品《I'm With The Band》演出水准相当不错, 16首作品的声线演绎得十分淡定，清新自然，与她多次合作的乐队班底亦以流畅而简单的乐器演奏，构成一张相当合拍而具韵味的爵士乐专辑!在这张包括了《Softly，As in a Morning Sunrise》、《Let's Face the Music and Dance》、《Two for the Road》、《If I Loved You》、《Cheek to Cheek》等16首充满无穷感染力的爵士乐专辑里，提儿妮·沙顿完美音色的唱艺表露无遗，感情充沛的歌声音色细微度精致明确，令人迷醉；柔情韵味无限的演唱格调独具冷艳迷人气韵，妙不可言；钢琴、鼓及贝司等配器简洁无瑕，音色鲜明准确，乐声的层次感细致分明，钢琴伴奏简明纯净，亮丽精致的琴声尽现Christian Jacob的超群技艺……如此一张“声、色、艺”俱佳的爵士乐唱片相信可以打动不少爵士发烧友的心，使他们不由自主的沉醉于其中……
「玩團」相信是許多年輕學子的夢想，能與自己的樂團大聲奏出對音樂的執著，最好能在一間Live House，底下的聽眾為你的音樂痴醉，那感覺簡直酷斃！
歌手提兒妮．莎頓玩團好多年了，她的歌聲更讓她獲得JazzWeek雜誌的「年度最佳歌手」〈Vocalist of the Year〉榮銜。最新專輯《I掭 with the Band》是在紐約名滿天下的「鳥園Birdland」俱樂部的現場演出紀錄(「鳥園」是爵士樂大師查理帕克所開設的爵士俱樂部) 二天下來共留下了十六首經典爵士標準曲目的錄音。首軌《Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise》開場有如清晨黃鶯的聲音鋪陳，接著鋼琴手Christian Jacob一段即興演奏馬上進入正題。能放能收的節奏、精準的錄音定位感，加上提兒妮．莎頓絕佳的演唱技巧，絕對是張值得聆聽的現場錄音。

Review:
Since popping into our collective jazz consciousness as a semifinalist in the Thelonious Monk Jazz Vocal Competition in 1998 and signing with Telarc Jazz a few years later, the versatile stylist Sutton Tierney has carved a unique career around theme-centered recordings -- most notably with Unsung Heroes (featuring sung renditions of songs normally done as instrumentals) and Blue in Green (a tribute record to Bill Evans). Her creativity with tempo, song selection, and witty modulations is at full-throttle on her fifth disc for the label, I'm with the Band, an hour-long set recorded live at Birdland in March 2005. Though she's clearly the star and her ensemble is always in her service, the album title and cover photo beautifully illustrate the mutual love she and her brilliant bandmates have shared for ten years. Each tune has space for Tierney to shine and improvise over simple harmonic and rhythmic support before she lets them break free. On the opening track, "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise," she swings via words and scat over pianist Christian Jacob's alternately dark and light chordings, and drummer Ray Brinker's brisk brushes; then Jacob rolls with a feisty solo as Brinker and bassists Kevin Axt and Trey Henry groove behind him. "Let's Face the Music and Dance" features their very gentle support behind her restrained and thoughtful reflections, while Tierney and her rhythm section render "'S Wonderful" with a wistful wink. Tierney has her moments of gentle and poignant romance ("If I Loved You"), but is clearly having the most fun when she's moving at a faster tempo, alternating words and scat so effortlessly and seamlessly that you don't realize she's shifting back and forth. This disc is live jazz at its best and is destined to be a classic.
