Since
Tierney works with some of the best musician's in
Los Angeles
I thought that they should be the ones to review her.
Christian Jacob:
"To me Tierney is a real entity which should
be heard and known because she has a strong musical
personality. She knows what she's talking about. She's
not just a singer with a hook who hires pick-up bands.
As soon as I hear one song from Tierney I think Wow!
She has something different. She has such a musician's
mind too, totally confined into the group, and welcoming
musical input on the run, she does it better than
a lot of musicians I know. When we play together,
she makes me feel home, she wants me to be myself,
she needs me to be myself, which brings me a little
challenge every time."
Buddy Childers:
"In my career I have worked with the best singers
in the world. From Nat King Cole to Frank Sinatra,
from Ella fitzgerald to Nancy Wilson and Carmen McCray
to Sarah Vaughn. But the best of the best to me, has
been Tierney Sutton. She's a true musician, she reads
music and sings like a musician. When we do things
together in unison it's like playing with another
horn and it never gets old. It just gets better and
better every time, and it's a joy to listen to her!
Always in tune. Tierney has better aim than just about
anyone. GOOD AIM! To have it is everything.
To sum it up, Tierney is peerless. As a singer, as
a Bahai and as a person."
Trey Henry: "Why
do I like working with Tierney? Well, a lot of it
is the opportunity to push each other into a musical
situation we're not totally comfortable with. These
musical "Conflicts" (hopefully) lead to
new and unusual harmonic, rhythmic, and conceptual
settings. Every tune is an opportunity to create."
Jack Sheldon: "Wow!
Perfect pitch."
