While the lively alto is not averse to putting her own stamp on evergreens like \"Bye Bye Blackbird\" and \"In a Sentimental Mood,\" her conception also extends to songs borrowed from various branches of the pop\/rock era including folk-rock singer\/songwriters (Tracy Chapman's \"Give Me One Reason\" and Joni Mitchell's \"Carey\"), pop\/R\u0026amp;B (Stevie Wonder's \"Happier Than the Morning Sun\"), and country-pop (Bobbie Gentry's \"Ode to Billie Joe\"). She is also willing to take on material closely associated with notable interpreters (Antonio Carlos Jobim's \"Waters of March,\" Edith Piaf's \"La Vie en Rose\"), and to mix in the occasional composition of her own. The package is not as eclectic as all that might make it seem, since Loren sticks to one of two sets of backup musicians, either cutting in her own studio in Eugene, Oregon, with her stage trio (pianist Matt Treder, bassist Mark Schneider, and percussionist Brian West) or outside Nashville with such noted local jazzers as guitarist Jack Jezzro and bassist Jim Ferguson. They find the jazz feel in such seemingly unlikely material as \"Ode to Billie Joe,\" given a bass\/drums accompaniment with some sax work by Bryan Cumming, and \"Give Me One Reason,\" which actually is simple enough to provide a platform for improvisation. Throughout, Loren sings with a light touch, even when she's dipping into Portuguese, French, or Italian. When she takes on the classical crossover standard \"Time to Say Goodbye,\" the nominal closing song (\"Carey\" is billed as a \"bonus track\"), it has none of the histrionics applied by the likes of Andrea Bocelli. Loren and her musicians never lose sight of their duty to entertain, and that keeps this lengthy, varied set floating along to its conclusion.” AllMusic Review by William Ruhlmann\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eHalie Loren was the winner of the Pacific Songwriter Festival in 2005 and has gone on to become one of the finest young jazz singers of her generation. She has both an exquisite musical sense and the talent for phrasing that makes a song come alive. Her new album After Dark (her fifth) was released late in 2010 and reveals a major star in the wings, soon to take centre stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eGrowing up in Southeast Alaska , much of Halie’s diverse music exposure came early-on from listening to everything public radio had to offer and her parent’s eclectic music selections. From her first on-stage jazz performance at the Sitka Fine Arts Camp at age 10, Halie knew music was to play a big role in her life. She later moved to Eugene, Oregon and has been a singer-songwriter since the age of 14 and a full-time musician since winning the Pacific award. She’s in her mid-twenties now and is perhaps more widely known in Japan than she is in North America, a circumstance no doubt arising from the Japanese fondness for jazz American style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eHer voice has been compared (deservedly) to greats like Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell (whom Halie has covered on more than one occasion, in the past with “River” and currently with “Carey“.).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eOn her website Halie lists influences as diverse as Bjork, Etta James and Nine Inch Nails.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eShe has gone from winning the Just Plain Folks Award for Best Jazz Vocal album to becoming a major label artist in Japan (her album They Oughta Write A Song went to #1 on the Amazon Japan charts and stayed in the top-10 for several days).
