Drawing from a broad palette of instrumental and rhythmic coloration, The Sky Could Send You features re-imagined jazz and Brazilian standards, original compositions by contemporary artists and unexpected covers of pop tunes such as Harry Belafonte's Jamaica Farewell. Undulating world and jazz grooves provide a rich foundation for and, at times, stunning contrast to Sherri's unique sense of phrasing and her very personal and intimate delivery of lyrics. Nothing is straight ahead here; this is jazz for the new millennium. In praising Sherri's last outing, JazzTimes magazine exclaimed 'Encore Ms. Roberts!' We believe this new and exciting recording serves as a very fitting encore indeed.
