Our Take

With BEVERLEY KENNEY's latest release, "With The Basie-Ites," we are taken on a journey that feels both retro yet fresh, like a vintage wine served in a trendy new bar. The limited edition tracklist is jam-packed with classics that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time.

The Basie-Ites bring a level of sophistication and groove to Kenney's vocals that is truly one of a kind. The arrangements are tight, the horns are swanky, and the rhythm section is as smooth as butter. It's like being transported back to a smoky jazz club in the 1950s, but with a modern twist that keeps things interesting.

Kenney's voice is rich and velvety, with just the right amount of sass and vulnerability. She effortlessly glides through each track, bringing a sense of warmth and authenticity to every lyric. It's clear that she has a deep connection to the music, and it shines through in every note.

The bonus tracks included on this limited edition album are the cherry on top of an already delicious musical cake. They offer a glimpse into Kenney's versatility as an artist, showcasing her range and talent in a whole new light. Overall, "With The Basie-Ites" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking for a new favourite album to add to their collection. Cheers to Kenney and the Basie-Ites for delivering a truly unforgettable listening experience.

About the artist

Beverly Kenney

Beverley Kenney, the tragically underrated jazz vocalist, is a gem that deserves to be unearthed from the dusty crates of music history. Hailing from Harrison, New Jersey, Kenney burst onto the scene in the 1950s with her smooth-as-silk voice and impeccable phrasing that left audiences in awe. Despite her undeniable talent, Kenney struggled to break through the male-dominated jazz world of the time. But that didn't stop her from delivering unforgettable performances that showcased her unique blend of vulnerability and strength. Kenney's discography may be small, but it is mighty. Each album is a snapshot of a woman pouring her heart out through every note, whether she's singing a tender ballad or belting out an up-tempo number. Tracks like "Happy Little Sunbeam" and "Twisted" highlight her range and emotional depth, leaving listeners mesmerized by her raw honesty. Sadly, Kenney's career was cut short by personal struggles, leading to her untimely death at the age of just 28. But her legacy lives on through her music, which continues to inspire new generations of jazz aficionados. So, do yourself a favor and dive into the enchanting world of Beverley Kenney. Let her velvety voice wash over you like a warm embrace, and discover a talent that was taken from us far too soon. Trust us, you won't regret it. Cheers to you, Beverley Kenney, a true musical treasure.
