Info for The Game

Vocalist Rachael Calladine returns to her jazz roots with a quartet and her new album "The Game". Rachael has work with everyone from the Amy Winehouse to Ian Shaw and Alan Barnes to The Spice Girls!

"The selection concludes with the quartet's thoughtfully-restrained pacing of Horace Silver's "Peace." The album makes no concessions to the hip or contemporary; the focus is on taste and elegance. There is no fuss or drama here, everything is stripped back to its essence; Tytherleigh and Potts make a versatile combination, building an inventive rhythmic platform for McCarthy's artistry. Calladine doesn't mimic or pay homage to other performers; she owns the lyrics with her distinctively soulful phrasing, adding unexpected twists and emotional energy. An album of classy and mature performances that should resonate with vocal jazz enthusiasts and more casual listeners." (Neil Duggan, AllAboutJazz)
