HENRY DEHLINGER announces the release of HEAVEN AND EARTH: A DUKE ELLINGTON SONGBOOK, his third recording project with soprano Danielle Talamantes. The highly-anticipated album on the MSR label features Dehlinger's sensitive arrangements of Duke Ellington’s music with their melodic lines and stylish vocal and piano writing throughout. Audiophile Audition calls them “stunningly superb, each and every one,” and “Formidably essential listening!”
Talamantes and Dehlinger once again teamed up with producer Richard Price and engineer Wayne Hileman of Candlewood Digital, whose work has earned a GRAMMY Award and two GRAMMY nominations.
