_DESCRIPTION_:
Kat Edmonson - The Big Picture (2014 - Vocal jazz Pop) [Flac 24-96]
After spending several years thriving in Austin’s local club scene, Texas native Kat Edmonson moved her
infectious, jazzy twang to Brooklyn, New York, beyond the fundamental and but indispensable learning
experience of small venue performing. Her characteristic vocals have seen her land touring opportunities
with several well-established acts such as Chris Isaak, Gary Clark Jr. and Michael Kiwanuka, as well as
sharing the stage with fellow Texan Lyle Lovett on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Edmonson seriously
impressed with her 2012 album Way Down Low, hailed as “fresh as a spring bouquet” and “one of the greatest
vocal albums I’ve ever heard” by the New York Times and The Boston Globe respectively, and is backing this
accomplishment up with third effort The Big Picture.
IWhile The Big Picture remains musically timeless, the songstress’ approach to song writing adds a freshness
to its deep-rooted influences. Edmonson is at her vocal best in opener Rainy Day Woman, whose heartbroken,
aching lyrics allow her unique, haunting vocals to excel. While there’s a nasal quality to her tone,
Edmonson’s voice possesses a vivacity and sensuality that creates an appeal, which continues on the dangerously
inviting You Said Enough. The 70s-inspired grooves of its ensemble and saxophone solo, paired with punctures
of skilful falsetto, create an almost femme fatale aura around the singer.
The pop-inspired Avion, coupled with the contemporary folk sound of All The Way, creates diversity at the
album’s midpoint, while the sliding steel guitars of Crying betray Edmonson’s Texan heritage. Edmonson’s expert
scatting in the playful, swing track The Best contrasts well with Dark Cloud’s languid, modern jazz arrangement.
