Jazz singer Tierney Sutton never dreamed she'd come so far so soon. Had she not discovered jazz in college, she might have missed a singing career altogether. Sutton has more than made up for lost time.

----------------------------------------------------


I'm With The Band  
  

Like a true veteran, Tierney Sutton is right at home talking about Grammy Awards and the Great American Songbook. A Russian studies major turned jazz lover, she recently garnered 1 her first Grammy nomination 2 for her album I'm With The Band.  It's an album mostly of jazz standards that showcase her unique vocal 3 skills.

She says winning the award was the furthest thing from her mind. "People ask, 'Are you disappointed that you didn't win?' And I always say, 'I still can't get over being nominated.' So it's really hard to feel disappointed about not winning when I can't even believe I got nominated," she says.

Levine: "You can't really do much better than these [songs]. Are they songs that you've been singing for awhile and were they the songs you knew you would be singing for a long time?"

"I think that the Great American Songbook is like this amazing garden, and there's a new flower around every corner," says Sutton. "There's so much you can do with these songs, and it's great to have a song that structurally 4 has a lot of integrity, and is really beautiful, and that everybody is familiar with. And then take it on a little adventure. That's what the band likes to do because all the arrangements are done by all of us in consultation 5 with each other."

Levine: "With this CD, I know this is maybe more personal than some of the other ones you've done."

"Yeah, I think so because it's the first live CD we've ever done," she says. "And there's a certain energy that happens, I think, when the band is actually serving an audience that you can't get to often in the studio."

Whether she's live on stage or doing re-takes in the studio, there's no doubt Tierney Sutton has arrived. When she's not performing, Sutton is immersed in the familiar world of academia, teaching jazz vocals 6 at the University of Southern California.
