TPAC's Signature Series Opens with Tierney Sutton Band, 10/2

TPAC's Signature Series will open on Saturday, October 2, 2010 with the Tierney Sutton Band in Polk Theatre.  During its 15 years together, the Tierney Sutton Band has received two Grammy Nominations for Best Vocal Jazz Album, consecutive nominations for Jazz Journalist Association Awards, recorded several CDs that made the #1 spot on jazz radio playlists, and garnered critical praise throughout the world.
 
Comprised of Jazz World's "Vocalist of the Year," Tierney Sutton and instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt and Ray Brinker, the band has headlined in recent years at Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl and Jazz at Lincoln Center. To date they have recorded eight CDs, each resulting in increasing recognition and acclaim. The band's most recent disc, "Desire", was released in January '09 and was hailed by Jazz Weekly as "possibly the strongest release yet from this band."

Still, the band's greatest accomplishment is its continuing commitment to unity, excellence and creative collaboration. All musical arrangements as well as business decisions are made by the band members as full partners. A concert by the Tierney Sutton Band is an experience of rare and powerful harmony achieved by humble performers at the top of their game. Critics agree that the reason this band endures can be found in its music: "Phenomenal rapport"..."the chemistry is palpable"..."telepathic give and take"..."a serious artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level"..."top-flight one and all"..."total connection"..."a seamless blend with superlative bandmates"..."an uncanny display of spirit and unity."
