Editorial review
Judi Silvano was still half a decade away from signing with Blue Note when she recorded the excellent but little-known Dancing Voices. Although married to sax heavyweight Joe Lovano, the risk-taking singer was pretty obscure at the time. Those who were lucky enough to hear the CD saw how much Silvano had going for her -- an enviable range, serious talent as both a scat singer and interpreter of lyrics, and an impressive ability to embrace pretty ballads one minute and dissonant avant-garde experimentation the next. While the Philadelphia native is quite accessible on her infectious "Ecstasy" and appealing interpretations of Andre Previn's "Come Live With Me" and Max Roach's "Living Room," things become more abstract on Charlie Haden's "Silent Longing," the angular "Isadora" and the eerie "Trio Freeyo." Lovano (tenor and soprano sax) gets in some fine solos, as does pianist Ken Werner. Those who discovered Silvano's talents with 1996's Vocalise would do well to acquire the equally strong Dancing Voices if they can find a copy. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Judi Silvano -- Vocalist, Composer, Lyricist
Originally from Philadelphia, where she studied flute, piano, ballet and modern dance before attending Temple University on a vocal scholarship, Judi Silvano moved to New York in 1976 and has earned a reputation as a daring improviser, first as a dancer and later as a jazz vocalist. Voted three times in Top 10 Vocalist in the Down Beat Reader's Poll, Silvano has earned acclaim as a composer and lyricist, as well. She also received a Meet The Composer grant in 2003.
Her original compositions can be heard on her four CDs as a leader: Dancing Voices (JSL Records, 1992), Vocalise (Blue Note Records, 1997), Songs I Wrote Or Wish I Did (JSL Records, 2000), and Riding A Zephyr, a duo CD with legendary pianist Mal Waldron (Soul Note/Black Saint Records, 2002) which has been widely acclaimed.
