Album Description
Barbara Montgomery has gained a solid reputation as a sultry songstress, once described by a reporter as an "ice cream blond with a black coffee jazz voice." The truth is yes – her voice is alluring, and her sound sensuous. But to qualify this gifted artist as only a jazz singer is a misnomer, for her music increasingly stretches across musical boundaries into the realm of humanity. With her fifth release, entitled Trinity (2005 -- bjazz.com records, a division of Mr. Bean and Bumpy Music, Inc.), Montgomery takes us on a journey into the felicity and pathos which comprises the human condition. The album was lovingly co-produced by Montgomery with her partner, distinguished jazz pianist Aaron Graves; Graves arranged all the tracks, and five of the songs were written by the duo. As its name implies, Trinity is a spiritual compilation which evokes a range of human emotions – grief and sadness, longing and desire, resilience and belief. Montgomery and Graves are joined on the CD by some of today’s most gifted musicians, and the result is a poignant, jubilant and thoughtful recording which reinforces the continuity and commonality that exists among us all. Trinity consists of twelve tracks of varied musical lineage, all a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit in the midst of darkness.
