Album Review: Denise Donatelli - "Find A Heart" (8/10)

The two-time Grammy-nominated jazz
vocalist is up to her trademark magic,
 discovering dynamic outlets for her blend 
of exquisite intimacy and soulful easy
 swinging jazz via glorious obscurities from
 pop legends like Sting, David Crosby, Beck 
and Journey––in addition to Songbook era 
chestnuts popularized by Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. Working seamlessly with longtime collaborator, renowned pianist and arranger Geoffrey Keezer, Donatelli uncovers the deeper essences of each lyric with her keen emotional insight and silky, inviting intonations. Donatelli is a fresh and original jazz voice for our time.

Score: 8 out of 10
