Kristen Cornwell delivers with ‘Duke Ellington’s Sound of Love’ a striking and surprising tribute to the American jazz legend Duke Ellington.
The Australian singer, resident in Belgium since 2004,brings the music of “The Duke” with a deep respect for tradition and brand new arrangements by composer Michel Bisceglia.
Traditional elements heighten the albums sophistication in tempo, color and the interplay of the musicians. The addition of a string orchestra provides a touch of glamour, enhancing the musical expression throughout the entire album while simultaneously creating a cinematic atmosphere. Kristen infuses each song with personal expression proving herself to be a master storyteller.
