Birds (CD)
JENIFER JACKSON is the
name of the girl who made a particularly beautiful record and called it
'Birds'. Jenifer plays guitar, piano and sings. Her singing voice is clarity
itself, pure and understated. Her songs are lovely and mysterious and daring,
intimate and natural, sexual and sparse and true and also deceptively simple.
This peerless New York City songwriter's talent for melody and subtle
arrangement make for a record long on style and short on kitsch. Delicately
wrought by producer BRAD JONES with a handful of superb players, JENIFER
JACKSON's 'Birds' is an elegant work of classic pop and folk, effortlessly
graceful and resonant. This album is for who appreciate NICK DRAKE, JONI
MITCHELL, BURT BACHARACH, and vocal jazz like CHET BAKER and JULIE LONDON.
Contemporaries include SARAH McLACHLAN, ELLIOTT SMITH, RON SEXSMITH, LUCINDA
