Australian expatriate Trudy Kerr is another artist who understands the importance of seducing the public. A combination of artful programming and assured arrangements has made her one of the country's most polished singers. At Ronnie Scott's all this week, she has the imposing task of preceding Hugh Masekala on stage. After her haunting ballad performance on All the Way, her trio slipped easily in and out of a straight four-to-the-bar beat on My Resistance is Low. A few years ago Kerr still sounded as if she was processing different vocal influences. Now she is coming into her own. The new album Day Dream gives a taste of that maturity, but the bandstand is where she truly flourishes. - The Times |
