Fascinatin' Rhythm: Phrasing, 02/16/19

AllMusic

Episode 1907

2/16      Phrasing. A moment of acceleration or hesitation, or perhaps the bending of a note. Phrasing is the way singers express what’s inside a song without losing the song in the process. It enhances and even deepens the song in the hands of a great singer. Ultimately, through phrasing, the singer serves the song.
