Although known primarily as a jazz singer, Dankworth was described by The Sunday Times as 'one of the finest singers, regardless of category' and has collaborated with a diverse array of musicians and groups throughout her career including Marvin Hamlisch, Paloma Faith, Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Chick Corea. In addition to four cover songs, 'Live to Love' contains some powerful original material. It;s a deeply personal album that draws on Jacqui's thoughts on life and love and charts her continuing growth as a sophisticated singer of a wide spectrum of genres.
