Erin McDougald – The Auburn Collection (2003)
Y otro aporte de nuestro amigo David. Gracias David !
«The Auburn Collection» is tender and imperfect; sweet and sour…The notes
that lack in perfection, Erin substitutes with incomparable humanism: She
swings like a pendulum caught in the clock of 1935; soars through the highs
and lows of her endless range with clarity and dynamic ferver; moans the
shackled tribulations of a Blues’ singer; reminisces the not-so-distant
past of her youth as if she has outlived her own life, and whispers
heartache and discouragement like a teenager. She morphes in and out of her
multi-faceted, textured voices, revealing the one constant layer which
always lingers beneath–and this is the virtue of a true jazz singer,
peeling back the surface of a melody or arrangement and working from the
inside-out.
McDougald is not a revolutionary in jazz. She is not avant garde or
particularly complex in her presentation of the music. And yet she is far
from simple and lightyears from common in her delivery and interpretations.
She is a jazz singer–not one prone to scat or apt to lengthy diversions
from a palpable melody, but one who knows the subtlty of improvisation and
the importance of claiming ownership of the song’s sentiments. Erin
McDougald is a jazz singer whose youth takes no backseat to experience and
empathy. «The Auburn Collection» is in fact, a collection of moments,
memories, lifetimes, futures–all narrated through a voice you call
