| | Perspective is everything. While presently some see the world as | |
| | a chaotic mess, others glimpse wonder and beauty in abundance and | |
| | the infinite possibilities created when rooted in love. As | |
| | demonstrated on her debut jazz-adult pop album, Pretty World, | |
| | vocalist Anne Walsh falls into the latter category. The gorgeous | |
| | collection of idyllic songs thematically chronicle the | |
| | complexities of love spanning happiness, yearning, suffering and | |
| | hope. WalshÆs husband, Thomas Zink, produced and arranged the | |
| | dozen tracks that consist of buoyant Brazilian jazz grooves and | |
| | poignant heart-tugging ballads. | |
| | | |
| | While Pretty World is comprised of standards (Cole Porter, Rogers | |
| | & Hammerstein), Brazilian jazz (Sergio Mendes, Antonio Carlos | |
| | Jobim) and adult pop (Suzanne Vega, Kevyn Lettau) cuts, | |
| | compositions by Pat Metheny (ôSo May It Secretly Beginö), Keith | |
| | Jarrett (ôMy Songö) and Don Grolnick (ôPoolsö) were given | |
| | original lyrics penned for Walsh by Joe Derenzo. Zink, who played | |
| | piano, keyboards and synths, fostered a live sound during the | |
| | recording process by utilizing live musicians and granting the | |
| | gifted players the freedom and ample space to improvise and | |
| | spontaneously interact while never obstructing the spotlight | |
| | brightly focused upon WalshÆs angelic vocals. The exquisite | |
| | production leans organically acoustic and is graced with warm | |
| | embraces from a lush string section that added a range of | |
| | emotion. Impressive is the fact that Zink successfully managed to | |
| | orchestrate intricately produced tracks that sound sparse and | |
| | airy. To add authenticity, contributing their talents to the | |
| | record was an accomplished bunch that has played with Sergio | |
| | Mendes including noted guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves (Jobim), | |
| | bassists Carlitos Del Puerto and Jerry Watts, percussionist Tiki | |
| | Pasillas, and saxophonist-flautist Gary Meek in addition to | |
| | multidimensional bassist Brian Bromberg. | |
| | | |
| | ôMuch of the music on Pretty World was written in the 1970Æs when | |
| | there was an exciting fusion of so many great musical forces. | |
| | ThereÆs something brave about these songs and I wanted to be a | |
| | part of the music from that era. There was a real musical freedom | |
| | to explore, and we set out to capture some of the crazy diversity | |
| | that resulted,ö explained Walsh. ôIÆm drawn to songs that feel | |
| | good, groove, communicate a truth, express an emotion or tell a | |
| | story. As a performer of songs written by others, Tom & I felt | |
| | that we owed it to the music to add something unique. We wanted | |
| | that to come through on both the vocals and the arrangements. I | |
| | hope the album paints a picture of beauty, love, joy, pain, | |
| | heartbreak, blessings and the mystery of relationships while | |
| | celebrating and honoring the composers of some of my favorite | |
| | music.ö | |
