Ten years ago, a Taiwan-born songstress journeyed to New York City in the footsteps of Sarah Vaughn. What she found was a startling musical revelation that linked Harlem to Keelung Harbor, stretching through decades and generations of her own family past. Five years in the making, this stunning debut album by Macy Chen features both originals and classic Chinese songs that defined an era now faded in memory, re-interpreted by veteran New York musicians and delivered with heart-wrenching soul, by a voice that speaks to the truth and longing in us all. This album is a sterling work of Asian jazz diaspora, of which nothing is lost in translation. |
