Anne Ducros - Close Your Eyes (2003/2009)

After establishing momentum with her US debut, "PIANO, piano," and expanding her audience remarkably with several concert apperances in New York City (including Lincoln Center and an SRO performance at the 2007 IAJE conference), the gorgeous French diva Anna Ducros is back with her new offering, "Urban Tribe." The disc unites her with major players on the NY scene - Ada Rovatti on Sax, Essiet Essiet on bass and Bruce Cox on drums and also the one of the best french piano player Olivier Hutman . Highlights include her bold intepretation of Beatles’ “Sexy Sadie,” and an assortment of delicious standards and love songs such as “You and the Night and the Music,” “Easy To Love” and the Otis Redding classic, “Dock of the Bay.”...(anneducros.com)
