Award winning soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloomhas always had a special feeling for ballad performances and she’s finally released a project that showcases her expressive interpretations of American songbook standards and slow tempo originals. Sixteen Sunsets is her first all-ballads album, her 15th album as leader and fifth recording on the Outline label. The project pairs Bloom with long-time bandmates Cameron Brown on bass, drummer Matt Wilson, and newcomer pianist Dominic Fallacaro. She had been working on this slow tempo repertoire in concerts in NYC in the two years since her last “Wingwalker” release and then brought this band together to record in May 2013. Sixteen Sunsetswas recorded in 5.1 high resolution surround sound at Avatar Studio B in NYC with renowned audio engineer and co-producer Jim Anderson. The album features nine American songbook classics including Gershwin’s “I Loves You Porgy” and Kern’s “The Way You Look Tonight” in addition to five originals from Bloom’s own ballad book. Photographic legend Jay Maisel contributed the breathtaking image for the album cover artwork. Available in 5.1 high resolution surround sound on Pure Audio Blu-ray Pure Audio Records 55017 and instereo on Outline Records (OTL141).
“I grew up listening to these songs and knowing the lyrics. They were a part of my earliest listening experiences so playing them is like breathing to me. As time’s gone by it’s been easier to let the meaning of the songs come through the horn.”
– JI Bloom
Bloom has been developing her unique voice on the soprano sax for over 30 years. She’s a six-time winner of the Jazz Journalists Award for Soprano Saxophone and recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim fellowship. Her music is lyrical and provocative.
” one of the most gorgeous tones and hauntingly lyrical ballad conceptions of any soprano saxophonist”
