Jazz
"These sessions were a triumph of sounds, of teamwork, of joyous musicality. Savor the gratifying timbres of instrument and voice: the croon of Harry's tenor, the seductive rasp of Eddie's voice, the creamy texture of Becky's, the cellolike magenta of Joel's bass, Joe's translucent chords, the ocean swell of Chuck's snare-drum rolls. Here, Loesser is More, as this sextet revels in buoyant improvising on familiar but surprisingly rewarding melodies."
---Michael Steinman,occasionally, Professor of English at Nassau Community College; now and again, he writes for The Mississippi Rag, Cadence, All About Jazz, and Jazz Improv. |
