 On The Other Side, released in February 2007, the Tierney Sutton Band take on timeless classics with some stunningly unusual and unexpected arrangements. The results are Jazz compositions that are bold, fresh and translate a myriad of colors. Tierney Sutton and her band mates for more than a decade; search for the meaning of “happiness”, as is the theme in each of the selections they explore. Included are, “Get Happy”, “Happy Days Are Here Again”, “You Are My Sunshine”, and “Glad To Be Unhappy”.
For the listener, Sutton’s vocalizations and the band’s musical prowess (check out drummer Ray Brinker on a spirited “Get Happy” version 2) strikingly paint various emotional perspectives of happiness. The result runs the spectrum from hypnotic eeriness to sheer exhilaration. This collaborative interpretation of music that is part of the American fiber clearly represents the type of risk taking that only a band with incredible talent and a long history could attempt. On The Other Side, makes a bold statement, Tierney Sutton’s incredible vocals and seamless timing with that of her band; leaves no doubt they are worthy of the challenge.
