La Tanya Hall – It’s About Time
La Tanya Hall – It’s About Time
The excitement surrounding the release of La Tanya Hall’s solo debut
disc was expressed by American song specialist Michael Feinstein, who
wrote that: “Listening to La Tanya is a transporting experience for me.
The natural beauty of her voice, her musicality and myriad interpretive
gifts make her singing a unique and joyous experience.” If one word
could be used to describe La Tanya Hall’s talent, it would have to be
diverse. Her versatility in a variety of musical genres has allowed her
to travel the world and work with some of the world’s most celebrated
artists, including Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Michael Feinstein,
Patti Labelle, Harry Belafonte, Steve Tyrell and Bobby McFerrin. She is
also an in-demand session singer and an accomplished actress, having
lent her skills to numerous recording projects, Broadway shows and
television and movie appearances. Accompanying La Tanya Hall on
this disc is a big band made up of many of New York City’s leading jazz
soloists and sidemen, performing sumptuous and swinging arrangements by
master orchestrator, Angelo DiPippo.
“La Tanya’s voice is a rich classic blend of elegance and
soulfullness- sophisticated and yet funky all at the same time. She’s
also blessed with a mighty combination of beauty and presence that can
stop traffic!” –Steve Tyrell
