"Beverley seduces the ears with her delicate and sultry vocal style, aided and abetted by fine and unusual arrangements with co-arranger, Guitarist Paul Malsom. If you're tired of female singers who belt and wail, then Beverley is the perfect antidote. This album reveals gentle yet intelligent performances that warrant many repeated listenings" - Derek Nash
"What's New?" is a collection of 12 songs from jazz standards - arranged with a contemporary twist - to songs by writers such as Sting, Bob Marley and Joan Armatrading. It features Paul Malsom (acoustic guitars), Danny Sheppard (double bass), Andres Ticino (percussion), Buster Birch (percussion) and Derek Nash (saxophones) and was recorded at Derek's Clown's Pocket Studios, Bexley in August 2006. It is available now through Jazz CDs
For those of you who live in Kent and who cannot wait to have their ears seduced, it is also available from The Compact Disc, 57 London Road, Sevenoaks, Kent - 01732 740889. This is what they had to say about "What's New?"
"Here's the kind of album that's exactly what a music shop is always looking for - something that gives us an edge. Beverley's voice is warm and husky. The well chosen cocktail of songs is thoughtfully and carefully arranged with lots of beautiful light and space. Paul Malsom's delicate guitar is always there, but never too much. The icing on the cake is Derek Nash's sax. You really must find a way to hear this album. It's a breath of fresh air."
