This Getz-ish tenorist is probably best known as the musical and life partner of graceful US expat singer Stacey Kent; though this is nominally his album, it’s dominated by her voice. Like Diana Krall, Kent takes beautiful standards and gently unfurls their lyrics; and the supremely empathetic understanding she shares with Tomlinson recalls the sublime beauty of Billie Holiday’s recordings with Lester Young. Timeless, artful and utterly gorgeous.
