Shaking Free was Nnenna Freelon's first recording for the Concord jazz talent
and what a recording it is! Grammy nominated for Best Jazz Vocal Performance,
this was also the vibrant vocalist's first recording project with her loving
ensemble. The spirited interplay between vocalist and ensemble, honed to
perfection from two-and-a-half years of steady touring, enlivens every track on
the jazz vocal classic. Now presented with the stellar sound of Hybrid SACD
surround, Nnenna's myriad musical nuances are revealed with striking warmth and
clarity.
