Beata Pater has released her fifth album for B&B Records with an entirely new methodology to repertoire. Titled Fire Dance, the recording features eleven new compositions written by Alex Danson all of which are exemplary vehicles for Beata’s unique vocalese. Each member of the 7 member band contributes their precise details and improvised visions to her impeccable intonation and rhythmic vocalese. Sam Newsome on soprano saxophone, Anton Schwartz on tenor saxophone, Aaron Lington on baritone saxophone, Scott Collard on keyboards, Aaron Germain on bass and Alan Hall and Brian Rice on drums and percussion provide the robust and enhanced compliments to Beata’s full palette of colors, textures and patterns. Along with the impressive use of vocal overdubs and the rich infusions of R&B, folk forms, and World Music influences, Fire Dance meets the excellent standards Beata set with her previous releases.
