BEVERLY KENNEY - Snuggled On Your Shoulder (2010) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Snuggled on Your Shoulder assembles the earliest known recordings by the ill-fated jazz chanteuse Beverly Kenney, cut months prior to her discovery by the Dorsey brothers and shelved for more than half a century. The circumstances of the session are largely unknown, although it's probable that Kenney -- accompanied solely by pianist Tony Tamburello -- was cutting demos for an LP that never materialized; the stark simplicity of the approach nevertheless serves her poignant vocals spectacularly, underscoring the bittersweet beauty that is the essence of her craft. Indeed, while not on par with the sheer brilliance of Born to Be Blue or Like Yesterday, Snuggled on Your Shoulder captures Kenney in her natural element, stripped of all pretense and embellishment. by Jason Ankeny
