Herb Jeffries or Johnny Hartman are the closest reference points, but Quasthoff doesn't copy either of them. Yeah, sure, other classical singers have done it, often with crossover dollars or Euros in mind, almost always with laughably pompous, treacly or condescending results. This, though, has to be the widest left turn that Quasthoff has made yet, a "jazz" album of 12 American pop standards. His English diction is perfect, and yet his rich, deep, resonant timbre is intact, arrestingly so. This album was nominated for the 2008 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Crossover Album."
The great German bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff has done some astonishing things in his career, even appearing on-stage in the role of Amfortas in Wagner's Parsifal. For one thing, there is nothing resembling operatic or lieder feeling in his delivery. Quasthoff claims that he had experience singing jazz per se early in his career, but so did singers like Kiri Te Kanawa and Renée Fleming -- neither of whom sound convincing in pop.
So how does Quasthoff manage to succeed in this venture where others do not?
