Stacey Kent, a recent addition to the Blue Note roster of
recording artists, now boasts six
best-selling albums, a string of awards, including the
2001 British Jazz Award and2002 BBC Jazz
Award 'Best Vocalist,' the 2004 Backstage Bistro
Award and the 2006 Album of the Year for
'The Lyric' as well as a fan base that enables her to sell out
concert halls around the world. Stacey's latest album, out on Blue
Note, 'Breakfast On the Morning Train' was released in September
2007 and has since 'gone gold' in France and Germany. The album
includes a mixture of classic standards as well as new songs
written & produced by husband & saxophonist, Jim Tomlinson,
in collaboration with award-winning novelist, and now lyricist,
Kazuo Ishiguro.
'Her voice is sometimes a whisper, sometimes a confiding
murmur, sometimes an exhilarated exclamation; but whatever the
idiom or the mood, individual listeners frequently feel that
Stacey's music was intended for their ears only.' -
John Fordham, Guardian Jazz Critic
