What people are saying about
Move On: A Sondheim Adventure:
“Now the French singer Cyrille Aimee throws open the door on how to express Sondheim’s word-driven songs in the language of jazz, without sacrificing the lyrics’ intelligence, wit, perspicacity, and character-defining qualities. ”
“Brand new band, brand new life, brand new music… truly moving on, as only Aimée can.”
“Musically, Move On is the equivalent of a superior cocktail hour or world-class tapas bar; Aimée takes the Sondheim canon and gives us a chef’s tasting menu’s worth of small jazz plates that satisfy but don’t stuff.”
“Throughout the album she brings an attunement to lyrical clarity that nothing, not even her natural air of insouciance, can displace.”
“Ms. Aimée’s other unmistakable trademark is a penchant for sonic playfulness. A good point of comparison might be Ella Fitzgerald…”
