SAIL AWAY by Chris Bennett

“Her voice is vibrant and pure and her songwriting skills are sharply impressive!”.
Throughout Sail Away, Bennett sounds as vibrant and pure as when she first ventured into the jazz arena. Sail Away was recorded in Tahiti at Studio 540 with Laurent Crosasso and a trio of local musicians – saxophonist Armando Castagnoli, bassist and pianist Felix Vilchez,and percussionist Ariel Cruz. With co-producer Eric Doney on piano and string arrangements, Bennett opens with a tender These Foolish Things, then sequels into a hauntingly good A Day In The Life of a Fool, superbly embellished by Castagnoli’s horn. Most intriguing of the album’s six covers is her dove-soft, balladic interpretation of the typically fervent Perfidia.” This is Chris’s 11th and most powerful release to date, showcasing the artist at the peak of her powers.
