Description
Tenderly, an intimate collection of standards, sees Grammy-nominated American Jazz singer Stacey Kent revisit the Great American Songbook, the repertoire for which she first became known. The album sees Stacey performing alongside legendary composer/guitarist, Roberto Menescal - one of Brazil's most important 20th Century musical figures, founding father of Bossa Nova, record producer, and winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2014 Latin Grammy Awards.

Tenderly is Stacey’s first standards album since 2003. The intervening years have seen Kent broaden her repertoire to include originals written specially for her by famed novelist, Kazuo Ishiguro and Jim Tomlinson.

With Stacey’s husband on saxophone and flute and Jeremy Brown on bass, this intimate collection of songs is something of a homecoming for both Stacey and Roberto. For Stacey, it is a return to the Great American Songbook and for Roberto, it is a return to the jazz roots that inspired that young guitarist in the heyday of the Bossa Nova years.
