Dayna Kurtz: Otherwise Luscious Life (Live) - repost

Dayna B. Kurtz is a dynamic and captivating vocalist. She delivers each snatch of a phrase emotionally,deliciously, languidly if not, and then follows a space of silence for the effect to sink in completely. In this setting of an acoustic combo backing, the magic of her voice against the stark musical backdrop of this live album is particularly effective. Her vivid imagery includes melons shattered by a great fall and a floodlight piercing the black night. But it is not all pleasant poetry in Kurtz's universe. The appearance of a junky in "Miss Liberty" and the raunchy sexual escapade of the title track allow for a dose of graphic reality. A stunning jazz vocalist, Kurtz has spent years refining her considerable writing, singing, and performing skills. National Songwriters Association Songwriter of the Year awards in 1996, 1997, and 1998 followed. These live selections highlight the talent of a husky-voiced poignant singer of peerless caliber. ~ Tom Schulte, All Music Guide
