"You can hear that she is really a jazz vocalist, in terms of timing, swing, flair and finesse."
Jazzism, 26-4-2018On this album the young Italian jazz singer Chiara Pancaldi shows once again talent to sing jazz standards in a flawless and convincing way. Her pure voice was noticed by Kirk Lightsey and Darryl Hall and they formed an pure acoustic trio to record this album.
The recording is a true live session, where they all took chances and improvised a lot. Each song, whether it is the famous standard On the Sunny Side of the Street or the obscure Strayhorn tune Love Came, has its own atmosphere.
Two special guests enrich the session, both in a ballad: Jeremy Pelt, who plays on What is There to Say, the track that gives the record its title, and Laurent Maur, who played in A Timeless Place (The Peacocks).
Auf diesem Album beweist die junge italienische Sängerin Chiara Pancaldi einmal mehr ihr Talent, Jazzstandards makellos und überzeugend zu singen. Ihre reine Stimme erregte die Aufmerksamkeit von Kirk Lightsey und Darryl Hall, und sie taten sich zu einem rein akustischen Trio zusammen, um dieses Album aufzunehmen.
Die Aufnahme ist eine wahre Live-Session, in der alle Risiken eingingen und viel improvisierten. Jeder Song, sei es der bekannte Standard On the Sunny Side of the Street oder den Strayhorn-Tune Love Came, hat eine ganz eigene Atmosphäre.
Zwei besondere Gäste bereicherten diese Session, jeweils in einer Ballade: Jeremy Pelt, der in What is There to Say zu hören ist, dem Track, der dem Album seinen Titel gibt, und Laurent Maur, der in A Tmeless Place (The Peacocks) spielt.

With a lighter voice than the great American examples from jazz history, the Italian singer maintains the timing, technique and know-how of a typical mainstream jazz vocalist.
