Pippa Hayes - It Had To Be You

Singer Pippa Hayes debuts "It Had To Be You" on Seyah Records.
"Hayes has succeeded in reinvigorating oft-covered material with her own electric personality and sultry charm ... there is poetry in the graceful, bittersweet way she delivers each line" - Robert M Sutton
There's not a single wasted note on Pippa's stunning debut album; superb arrangements from George Golla, blending perfectly with Pippa's ability to get behind a lyric and wring out every ounce of emotion.
If you like romantic jazz, this one's for you ...
The album has a fantastic earthy "Harlem-meets-Shearing" type feel with a superb mix of standard tunes, authentic bossanova and haunting ballads as you have never heard them before. An elegantly understated rhythm section featuring: Craig Scott, bass, Mike Hayes, guitar, Alan Turnbull and Dave Goodman on drums, Jess Ciampa, percussion, and Tim Fisher on piano set the mood with their confident, deep swinging ease and masterful interplay.
