Imagine a voice big enough to knock you to the floor — and sensitive enough to make you shiver.
Imagine a singer with a perfect ear, an actor's way with words, and a sense of time as sure as an atomic clock.
Here she is.
Morgan James has it all: soul, charm, chops, blue-chip musicianship, and the kind of absolute individuality that makes her singing as recognizable as a fingerprint. What's more, she sounds as much at ease on the bandstand of a nightclub like Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola as she does standing in a Broadway spotlight. I think she's the most promising young vocalist to come along so far this century.
I first heard Morgan in a performance of Guys and Dolls and went home asking myself, "Who is that?" Now I know. So will you.
