EDITORIAL REVIEWS
This album is a deeply touching homage to her son, who died in 2011.
Chris McNulty has been moving audiences since her emergence
on the international jazz scene in 1985. With a touch of Sarah,
a hint of Ella, and a whole lot of vibe, McNulty is blessed with an
exquisite instrument.
This recording, the tune selections, my two compositions and the
treatment concept, all took place before my beautiful beloved and
cherished son, Sam departed this world (July 16th, 2011). Nothing
has been changed or altered in any way. My composition Long
Road Home - The Song that Sings you Here was completed in 2008.
The title for this recording was chosen in 2010. As I listen back now,
it strikes me that much of this album sounds like it was conceived
after Sam left us. I have no explanation for this except to say that
every song I sing, I sing for him. I sing him here, always.
A rich, expressive voice soaked in swing and blues. An ability to
improvise that s straight from the heart. Wonderfully expressive,
demonstrating soaring confidence. Her intonation and articulation
are commanding. Liquid phrasing, luminous tone, a voice of serene
beauty and striking veracity.
