Sheila Cooper - Arranger, Producer, Sax (Alto), Vocals
Fritz Pauer - Arranger, Piano
Canadian born saxophonist and vocal talent Sheila Cooper honed her craft in New York. Now living in Vienna, Sheila has paired up with legendary Viennese pianist Fritz Pauer and produced an album of meaningful ballads entitled 'Tales of Love and Longing'. Sung and played with rare sensitivity and emotion, this is her first Candid album. Sheila’s voice and her skills as a saxophonist have earned her a great deal of praise from people like saxophone hero Lee Konitz, having honed her skills playing with stars like Clark Terry and Kenny Wheeler. Cooper charms with her multi faceted saxophone playing, and like every great singer, she not only knows how to fascinate with notes, but also with her wonderful use of space in her delivery.

Sheila Cooper is a talented singer who also plays alto, or is she actually a Lee Konitz-inspired altoist who also sings? On Tales of Love and Longing, she performs duets with veteran pianist Fritz Pauer that -- given her two talents -- seem like trios. In keeping with the CD's title, most of the music is taken at slow tempos and has lyrics dealing with some aspect of love. A happy change of pace is a medium-tempo instrumental version of "How Deep Is the Ocean?" that, after four straight slow ballads, really wakes up the CD. Other departures include Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman," Cooper's original "I Gravitate to You," and her unaccompanied alto statement on "Body and Soul." But in general this is a set of slow ballads, sung with an aching longing and very sincere feeling by a subtle singer who shows a great deal of promise.
