Search - Lori Carsillo :: A Dream or Two

On A Dream or Two, San Francisco Bay Area jazz vocalist Lori Carsillo offers six stunning jazz gems and an original song co-written with guitarist and arranger on the session, Jeffrey Burr. Joining the impressive Burr, are talented Bay Area musicians, bassist Eric Markowitz and James Gallagher on drums. Celebrated trumpeter Erik Jekabson graces three tracks on the session including Carsillo's original, "Out of the Blue", which has a 60s pop vibe with a James Bond undercurrent. Noted as a singer with superb phrasing, an impressive range (Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes), Carsillo emphasizes her deftness for ballads by touching upon several slower-tempo songs in the session, the lovely and lilting "There's No You" and "Key Largo", Mancini's haunting "Slow, Hot Wind" and the heartbreaking "What'll I Do?" Burr's unique arrangement of Lullaby of the Leaves and the swinging Alone Together brings balance to the session. Carsillo's "Out of the Blue" ends the record with a playful twist.
