Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato a una delle voci più eleganti, virtuose e affascinanti del vocal jazz e del Great American Songbook contemporaneo: Ann Hampton Callaway.

Cantautrice, arrangiatrice e straordinaria improvvisatrice, Ann Hampton Callaway incanta da decenni i palcoscenici di tutto il mondo con un timbro caldo, un'estensione vocale impressionante e una sensibilità interpretativa unica. In quest'ora ripercorriamo la sua carriera attraverso 11 capolavori: dallo swing travolgente di "Route 66" e il virtuosismo di "Lullaby of Birdland", all'emozionante interpretazione di "Send In The Clowns" e le sue celebri composizioni rese famose da Barbra Streisand come "At The Same Time" e "I've Dreamed Of You". La scaletta prosegue tra toni blues e atmosfere notturne con "Blues In The Night", "In The Wee Small Hours Of Morning", un'intensa "Over The Rainbow", la sensuale "Fever", la freschezza di "But Not For Me", lo scat spettacolare di "How High The Moon", la sognante "Lazy Afternoon" e il gran finale con "The Very Thought Of You".

Un viaggio sonoro di pura classe, eleganza e grande vocalità jazz.
