Terez Montcalm is a French Canadian vocalist who is little known in the US. She performs mostly in Canada and France. She is primarily a jazz artist, who has a bit of a Janis Joplin like rock edge to her live performances. In this album she sets aside the guitar and concentrates purely on the slow and varied tempos of these Shirley Horn ballads near and dear to her. Her voice is absolutely unique and a pleasure to my ears. Her delivery on these songs is masterful. In an interview, she was once asked to what she attributes her unique vocal sound. She said most people's vocal cords are like spaghetti, but hers are thicker like fettuccine, thus giving her voice its deep, rich qualities. Why she isn't better known and appreciated is a mystery to me. ~Robert A. Jackson
