Hanna Richardson Trio
"If I Were a Bell" - Frank Loesser
The American singer, Hanna Richardson is a considerable songstress. She has an engagingly sunny style, assured phrasing and displays innate good taste with her serene yet heartfelt approach to melody, interpreting the lyrics with no histrionics or mannerisms. Ruby Braff complimented her singing: "That's the way to sing! simply and with spirit". Hanna brings with her Chris Flory (guitar) and Phil Flanigan (bass).
This lovely evening was recorded live at the Fleece, and the CD is indeed named "Live at the Fleece". The CD has Nick's pictures on it, and is available for sale at the club. It will be available soon on Hanna and Phil's fine website, www.hannaphil.com
