It Happens Quietly
In addition to
standards such
as A
Nightingale Sang
In Berkeley
Square and
Blame It On My
Youth, the
album contains
some wonderful
original
material in the
form of the
hauntingly
beautiful title
track, It
Happens Quietly
(music by John
Dankworth,
lyrics by Buddy
Kaye), and
The Man, a
father and
daughter
co-write.
Featuring
original
arrangements by
Sir John, aided
by his long
standing musical
assistant Ken
Gibson, It
Happens Quietly
also boasts an
inspiring
supporting cast
of players,
including
Jacqui's brother
Alec Dankworth
on bass and
saxophonist Tim
Garland guesting
on both the
title track and
At Last.
This album also
constitutes Sir
John Dankworth's
last performance
on record.

Jacqui Dankworth
Regarded as one
of the country’s
premier jazz
voices, Jacqui's
early work
caught the ear
of Sir Michael
Parkinson and
national acclaim
soon followed.
Subsequent
releases, both
under her own
name and with
artists like the
Brodsky Quartet,
Courtney Pine,
Tim Garland and
many others,
firmly secured
her place at the
forefront of the
UK music scene.
'There are very
few singers that
can sound so
good on record
and even better
when you see
them live on
stage, Jacqui
Dankworth is one
of the few who
sounds fantastic
all the time'
Michael
Parkinson
