Info for The Sting Variations
The Sting Variations ist die logische Nachfolge zum Grammy nominierten Solo-Album After Blue, in denen Tierney Sutton Joni Mitchells Kult-Album Blue neu aufbereitet. Dieses Mal kehrt das gesamte Ensemble mit einer einzigartigen Interpretation des besten aus dem vielfältigen Sting-Repertoires zurück. The Sting Variations setzt die bemerkenswerte kreative Auseinandersetzung der Bandgeschichte mit bekannten Liedern fort.
Das Album beinhaltet sowohl große Hits als auch obskure, tiefergehende Album Tracks des Sting Katalogs. Tierney Sutton mit ihrem immensen Talent, einer echten Liebe für Musik und Menschen, und einer Stimme, die stilistische Grenzen überwindet und die Herzen aller berührt, die diese hören.

Tierney Sutton
The New York Times has called Tierney Sutton "A serious jazz artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level.“ An 8-time GRAMMY nominee as both a recording artist and arranger, Sutton is often described as “a singer’s singer,” but just as often, she is described as a “musician’s singer” who uses her voice like an instrument.
Tierney received her 5th consecutive Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album for “After Blue,” an intimate, jazz-inspired re-imagining of the legacy of Joni Mitchell. The album, which was Sutton’s first solo outing without her longtime band, features luminaries Al Jarreau, Hubert Laws, Peter Erskine, Larry Goldings, Serge Merlaud, Kevin Axt and The Turtle Island Quartet.
Spanning over 20 years of collaboration, the Tierney Sutton Band’s 9 CDs have consistently topped the US jazz charts, leading to Tierney’s selection as Jazzweek’s Vocalist of the Year as well as to numerous other accolades in the music world including a 2011 Grammy nomination for the Band’s collaborative arranging.
She has headlined in recent years at The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and Jazz At Lincoln Center. She can also be heard on film and television soundtracks including The Academy Award-nominated film “The Cooler” as well as on television commercials (BMW, Green Giant, Yoplait Yogurt, Coke).
When she is off the road, Tierney is an active educator. She taught for over a decade at USC’s Thornton School of Music and is currently the Vocal Department Head at The Los Angeles Music Academy in Pasadena, CA, where she has created a new curriculum for vocalists of all genres. Tierney has taught and mentored some of music’s finest new generation of singers including Gretchen Parlato, Sara Gazarek and Monica Borzym.
