Stella Bass joins forces with some of the leading Irish jazz musicians – notably Phil Ware, Hugh Buckley and Michael Buckley – to release her debut album. Featuring an eclectic mix of jazz standards and newly arranged pop songs ranging from Jerome Kern to Amy Winehouse – Amy’s mother in fact, endorsed Stella’s cover of Back to Black – the album has also been selected for inclusion by Aer Lingus, on its USA in-flight schedule.
"You might ask yourself if Stella Bass’ voice can possibly match her on-stage presence, but the answer is a resounding ‘yes!’ Bass truly is the full package. This is disc is proof positive of a talented artist who can give the greats a run for their money in years to come. Song selection here is strong, especially numbers from Cole Porter and Jerome Kern. The Nearness of You is a real knock-out, while Bass’ rendition of Back to Black will make you forget the Amy Winehouse version".
