专辑介绍：
美国MAXJAZZ公司新宠Erin Bode的新作《Don't Take Your Time》肯定可叫爱听女声的发烧友著迷。年纪轻轻的Erin，不但样子甜美清纯，那带孩子气的笑容令她怎么看也不似一个爵士乐歌手，而事实上她那嗓子又的确甜美可人，在爵士乐圈子之中实在罕有，不过，这些都不代表她不能唱好爵士乐曲。事实上，她不但声靚，唱功也很扎实，且她在木碟中走的是轻爵士路线，也很合她发挥，整体感觉自然之致。而MAXJAZZ的出品音效一向高超，两、三年前L，Butler的《Blues in the City》已叫人侧目，这新作也不例外，女声、低音提琴、和结他的质感都好到极，而Erin的歌声更教人难忘。
聆听Erin Bode的作品，从编曲技巧和演唱手法而言，或许有人会觉得她不是一位「纯粹」的爵士乐的歌手。Erin Bode不刻意演唱蓝调歌曲，也没有强调摇摆节奏，但她巧妙地游走于乡村、民谣与流行音乐元素之间，以天籁般的美好嗓音，配合不落俗套的编曲与伴奏，获得了广大年轻乐迷的喜爱。 就演唱风格而言，许多乐评人喜欢拿Erin Bode与诺拉·琼斯（Norah Jones）相比，其实个人对音乐的理解并不相同,相反地，她的演唱更深刻世故！
Erin Bode (her surname is pronounced as two syllables, each with long vowels) is a singer who is comfortable mixing jazz standards with well-known pop tunes and classics from the Great American Songbook in a typical performance. The daughter of a Lutheran pastor who was raised in a musical household in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, Bode sang in a church choir as a teenager before discovering jazz and big-band music while in high school in St. Louis. She also studied trumpet and participated in theater, eventually deciding to pursue a music degree. Starting at the University of Minnesota, she transferred back to the more intimate setting of Webster University in St. Louis, where she benefited from the tutelage of jazz pianist and singer Christine Hitt. She joined the jazz vocal ensemble at Webster and also sat in with Hitt during the pianist's local gigs at her instructor's invitation. Bode earned her degree in music and foreign languages, remaining in St. Louis to play engagements in the area. Following the release of a self-produced CD (Requests) in 2001, which included a locally popular version of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," her career took off. Receiving heavy local airplay, she was signed to the St. Louis- based Maxjazz label, which released her CD Don't Take Your Time in 2004, and included an updated version of "Time After Time" that was inspired by the late singer Eva Cassidy. This CD gave her much greater national exposure. Erin Bode has frequently been compared by critics and jazz radio hosts to both Cassidy and the young jazz superstar Norah Jones for her willingness to explore a wide range of material in a fresh, often subtle manner.
Vocalist Erin Bode has a beautiful, crystal clear voice that is too exquisite to miss. Her sweet personality and sincere performances win over each audience, while her distinctive repertoire and crossover appeal make her equally at home in grand venues or relaxed clubs. On her MAXJAZZ debut, Don't Take Your Time, Erin performs her personal take on tunes from the Great American Songbook, pop classics, and her first original song, "Don't Take Your Time." With an upcoming album of all original songs and arrangements, she continues to justify herself as a great voice to remember.The Erin Bode Group have performed nation wide at venues such as Blues Alley in Washington D.C. Zanzibar Blue in Philadelphia and at Sweet Rhythm in New York. They will go to Italy in February for their first European tour.They have also opened for legendary Supremes' singer, Mary Wilson; for Michael Buble at St. Louis' newest premiere venue The Pageant; and for Jamie Cullum at the Sheldon Concert Hall.
