CD Reviews

Best Straight Ahead Jazz since Getz and Webster
Ellicott | Baltimore MD | 09/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The distinguishing feature of this CD is that it is Jazz (with a captial J) by adults for adults. If you remember Webster and Getz, you will get it. If not, perhaps glimpse it. The vocals get it too - in voices that are not perfect in a musical sense but perfect in the art of understanding and nuance. Like Sinatra in the late 50s and early 60s - no more choir boy voice, but lyrically wise. Like Anita O'Day, who had it way before her imitators. The heart and pain of the love songs -- the pain and ache of love at that age (our age).

In short, you must listen to this CD if you love the art of jazz. It it a joy."
Rebecca Kilgore is terrific
Bomojaz | South Central PA, USA | 12/01/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Not the greatest run-through of this marvelous material, but by far not the worst either. The rather desultory playing by Harry on the opening track starts things off on a negative note, but the proceedings pick up nicely from there. Rebecca Kilgore is a superb jazz singer, and performs her contributions with great style and elan: she gives the impression of knowing these songs inside and out. Eddie Erickson is not quite so good, but does a credible job on LUCK BE A LADY and the final version of the title track. Harry plays excellent obbligato behind the vocalists, and, of course, really shines on the up-tempo tunes. But buy this for Rebecca Kilgore's superb singing: you won't be disappointed."
Great rendition of a favorite
Richard Salwitz | Wilmington, NC | 10/30/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Guys and Dolls is, of course, a wonderful musical and this group rendition of the classic is fresh, inventive and well worth your time. Neat Group."
