http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/10/stacey-kent-tenderly-review-roberto-menescal-jazz
It’s a collaboration with the veteran Brazilian guitarist-composer-producer Roberto Menescal, who, it turns out, knows this repertoire intimately. With just two other musicians - Jim Tomlinson, on tenor saxophone and flute, and bassist Jeremy Brown
Deceptively simple, meticulously presented, each of the 12 tracks is a little gem. Kent’s soft, light voice is as persuasive as ever, and the playing is, of course, immaculate.
