Tierney Sutton Band, jazz (Estados Unidos)
No full textDe las ocho ocasiones en las que ha sido nominada a los Grammy, Tierney Sutton ha recibido siete nominaciones consecutivas a Mejor Álbum Vocal de Jazz, una por cada proyecto que ha publicado en la última década. En 2013 sacó a la luz ‘After Blue’, una reimaginación del legado de Joni Mitchell inspirada en el ‘jazz’. El álbum recibió grandes elogios y supuso la irrupción de Sutton como líder, sin su banda de siempre. Este trabajo cuenta con la participación de Al Jarreau, Hubert Laws, Peter Erskine, Larry Goldings, Mark Summer, Kevin Axt, Serge Merlaud y The Turtle Island String Quartet.
Con una trayectoria de grabaciones y giras que abarca más de veinte años y nueve álbumes, The Tierney Sutton Band —TSB— ha recorrido un camino poco común. Integrada por Sutton y los virtuosos instrumentistas Kevin Axt, Ray Brinker, Trey Henry y Christian Jacob, la agrupación funciona como una verdadera unidad colaborativa (y legalmente constituida), cuyos integrantes toman todas las decisiones musicales y empresariales como socios. En 2011, la TSB recibió una nominación al Grammy por sus arreglos en colaboración, el único reconocimiento que se ha otorgado en tal calidad.
Su discografía es temática y abundante, y los proyectos anteriores de la TSB han abordado la cultura estadounidense (‘American Road’, 2011), el materialismo (‘Desire’, 2009), la búsqueda de la felicidad (‘On the other Side’, 2007), así como los legados musicales de Bill Evans (‘Blue in Green’, 2001) y Frank Sinatra (‘Dancing in the Dark’, 2003). En esta misma línea, TSB lanzó una nueva grabación en otoño de 2016 titulada ‘The Sting Variations’. Además, Christian Jacob y TSB compusieron la música original de la película de Clint Eastwood ‘Sully’, protagonizada por Tom Hanks y Laura Linney, que se estrenó el 9 de septiembre de 2016.
En los últimos años, Tierney se presentó en el Hollywood Bowl, el Carnegie Hall, el Kennedy Center y el Jazz At Lincoln Center. También es posible escucharla en bandas sonoras de cine y televisión como la de la película nominada al Oscar ‘The Cooler’, así como en anuncios de televisión de BMW, Green Giant, Yoplait y Coca Cola.
Cuando no está de gira, Tierney Sutton trabaja como productora y educadora vocal altamente cotizada. Ha enseñado durante más de una década en la Escuela de Música Thornton de la Universidad del Sur de California (USC) y durante cinco años ha sido directora del departamento vocal de Los Angeles College of Music en Pasadena, California, donde creó un nuevo plan de estudios para vocalistas de todos los géneros. Tierney ha enseñado y se ha convertido en la mentora de algunas de las mejores cantantes de la nueva generación, entre ellas Gretchen Parlato y Sara Gazarek.
En su gira por Colombia, Tierney Sutton Band estará conformado por el pianista Christian Jacob, el bajista Kevin Axt y el baterista Ray Brinker

Running a traditional ‘textbook’ campaign, Rob Portman has a commanding lead in Ohio’s Senate race, in spite of Donald Trump.
No full textAs part of our series covering key Senate races in the 2016 election, Tom Sutton and Barbara Palmer take a close look at Ohio’s election, where former Governor Ted Strickland is challenging the incumbent Republican Senator Rob Portman. While Portman was initially considered to be vulnerable, he is now nearly 15 percentage points ahead of Strickland, a lead which may be down to the GOP Senator’s superior fundraising and the funding of attack ads by outside campaign groups
