Colette Cassidy

Singer Colette Cassidy assembles a stellar cast for this overdue return to The Pendulum, a measure of the esteem in which she's held among the city's musicians.

Endowed with a warm naturalistic voice that belies her years of formal classical studies, here she lends her perfect pitching to songs associated with Shirley Horn and Carmen McRae, in the company of Richie Buckley (tenor), Huch Buckley (guitar), Myles Drennan (piano), Dave Fleming (bass) and Tom Dunne (drums).
