Shepley Metcalf and Ron Roy may call Boston home, yet it took a journey halfway around the world for their paths to cross. The two musicians met by chance in 2005 at a vocal workshop in Tuscany. Since then, Shepley and Ron have distilled their respective passions for song and keys into a smoldering sound that’s propelled the two to cross-country venues and even the Arts section of the New York Times. Between Shepley’s soul-bearing, witty expression and Ron’s prodigious piano playing – a loving nod to jazz, classical and cabaret – affecting live audiences and listeners alike is a natural habit for this musical pair.

Shepley and Ron’s debut album Something Irresistible paid homage to the sparsely recorded catalog of New York jazz legend Fran Landesman. For Shepley, excavating these songs involved some serious detective work, including a trip to England to meet with Ms. Landesman herself: music production by way of archaeology. In her own words, Shepley lives for the hunt of underplayed yet ear-catching songs. And for her latest album with Ron, Don’t Bother To Knock, Shepley is going deeper, this time trawling the depths of eras past for tracks that have all but vanished with the passage of time. The new album features irresistible songs once performed by latter-day luminaries like Nat King Cole, Anita O’Day and Fats Waller, resurrected and flush with new blood courtesy of Shepley's phrasing and Ron’s arrangements.

“Most of these songs haven’t actually been heard for decades!” says Shepley. "And after years of performing the songs together, Ron and I decided that the best way we could celebrate their existence would be to venture back into the recording booth.” Indeed, a stand-alone listen to Shepley’s reimagining of each tune suggests a familiarity that feels both fresh and instinctual. On “No Soap, No Hope, No Mouse, No House Blues”, a 1950s ditty, Shepley balances a contagious playfulness with the weight of decades. Her spin on “You’re Not The Only Oyster In The Stew” is an irreverent but sincere love note that seems tailor-made for today’s cultural climate of excess and choice. And once it’s time for the album powerhouse - Mildred Bailey’s “Have You Forgotten So Soon” - Shepley’s marriage of words and melody comes full circle. Spoken memories of movie palaces, Coney Island amusement games, and moonlit hayrides accompany Ron’s pining keys. With songs like these, the past is always present.

Queen Latifah - Trav'lin' Light

[5:41] 11. How Long (Betcha' Got A Chick On The Side)
[5:49] 12. Gone Away
[4:11] 13. I Know Where I've Been ( Hairspray )

Trav'lin' Light, Queen Latifah's follow-up to her first collection of pop standards, The Dana Owens Album (2004), is, if anything, even better than that Grammy-nominated set. Contemporary performers often get into trouble when they take on music of the pre-rock era, but this one, who is by now so far removed from her origins that she probably should be referred to as a former rapper, not only has the vocal talent to carry it off, she also has put in the hard work with producers, arrangers, musicians, and (no doubt) a vocal coach to create a more-than-credible album. Previously, Queen Latifah made the jump from rapper to Oscar-nominated actress, and her acting classes also seem to have come in handy here. In song after song, she has come up with a character to portray through the lyrics, and that helps make her interpretations convincing. Sometimes, it is the songwriters themselves she seems to be channeling. "Poetry Man," the leadoff track, is not far removed from Phoebe Snow's original, although Queen Latifah wisely undersings where Snow elaborated. Similarly, on "I Love Being Here with You" and "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl," she seems more than familiar with the originals by authors Peggy Lee and Nina Simone, and her versions are affectionate annotations on them. She probably knows the '40s song "Don't Cry Baby" through its '60s revivals by Etta James and Aretha Franklin, and without competing against those greats gives it an enthusiastic treatment. And, of course, the title song dates to a Billie Holiday recording with Paul Whiteman; Queen Latifah suggests Holiday's style without aping it. She is ably assisted by some expert studio supporters including producers Tommy LiPuma and Ron Fair and arrangers Jerry Hey and John Clayton; no expense has been spared in filling several studios with dozens of musicians, including full string and horn sections and such name soloists as Stevie Wonder (featured on harmonica on "Georgia Rose") and Joe Sample (piano on "Georgia Rose," "Trav'lin' Light," and "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl"). A great deal of thought has gone into the song choices (executive producer Monica Lynch is thanked specifically for her suggestions), which range from the '20s all the way up to "I Know Where I've Been" from the 2007 Hairspray soundtrack. Finally, however, it is the singer herself who deserves the credit for making the album work. As with her acting, Queen Latifah's singing is most laudable for not trying to do too much; she may evoke James or Simone or Holiday (or Smokey Robinson or the Pointer Sisters), but she never tries to outsing them; rather, her versions are glosses on the greats she and her producers so admire. ~William Ruhlmann

John Bunch Trio - Plays The Music Of Irving Berlin (Except One)

[7:10] 9. They Say It's Wonderful
[5:47] 10. All By Myself
[4:33] 11. Better Luck Next Time
[5:18] 12. Change Partners

This album sounds utterly effortless—like these guys went into the studio and hit the switch and just let it flow. They are pianist John Bunch (swinging his ass off at 86), guitarist Frank Vignola, bassist John Webber, and, on six tunes, flautist Frank Wess. The program is Irving Berlin songs, very familiar (“How Deep Is the Ocean,” “What’ll I Do”) and less so (“Better Luck Next Time”).

Bunch is probably best known as an accompanist, from Tony Bennett to Scott Hamilton. On tunes like “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” and “Isn’t This a Lovely Day?,” his exquisitely timed little jabs and fills quietly but insistently prod Wess and Vignola into giving their all. Bunch’s style is to the left of Count Basie and to the right of John Lewis, but he makes you think of them when he solos because of his concision, his ability to choose exactly the four notes the air needs. On “All By Myself,” he builds polite swing into a kind of gentlemanly ecstasy.

The performances here are so consistent that your favorite will be determined by personal loyalty to a certain Irving Berlin song. The vote here goes to “They Say It’s Wonderful.” It is lilting and life-affirming and unsentimental, not to mention personal. ~Thomas Conrad

It's no secret that New Orleans is a melting pot, a nexus that mixed African, Cuban, Native American, and European music to create a distinctive rhythm and attitude that can be found nowhere else in the U.S. New Orleans is the only city in American with a distinctive sound, and while you may not be able to describe it, you know it when you hear it. Even in a city known for musicians with a unique take on things, bandleader and trumpet player Kermit Ruffins stands out for his wide-ranging stylistic approach. Happy Talk tackles everything from low-down blues to Dixieland, with Ruffins well-known panache. "If I Only Had a Brain," from The Wizard of Oz, is given a Latin tinge by Herlin Riley's inventive percussion work. Ruffins sings the lyric simply, then gives the band plenty of room to explored the tune's changes with fine solos from Ruffins, Riley, trombonist Corey Henry, and pianist Matt Lemmler. 

Ruffins swings through "Happy Talk," an optimistic love song from South Pacific, delivers a jumpin' jivey version of "Hey Look Me Over" from Lucille Ball's Wildcat, and plays Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" in a slow, mournful tempo that intensifies the song's feeling of hopeless love. His expressive vocal wrings every bit of emotion out of each word with a measured delivery that stretches every breath almost to its breaking point. Ruffins also contributes two original tunes. "New Orleans (My Home Town)" is a slow blues featuring Ruffins' smoky, muted trumpet and playful vocal, Lemmler's late-night piano, and Daryll McCoy's Memphis-style guitar fills, while "I Got a Tremé Woman" is a rousing jump blues with an exuberant, barely contained energy that features the trombone of Henry and David Pulphus' inventive acoustic bass. Ruffins has been getting a lot of exposure on the HBO series Tremé, and although he's been touring more, he still holds down his weekly gig at Vaughan's Lounge, just as he's done for the past 17 years. ~ j.poet  http://www.allmusic.com/album/happy-talk-mw0002041345

Nothing can stop guitarist Mark Elf from making music. He's battled serious health problems, contended with the ups and downs of the music industry for decades, and, most recently, dealt with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the massive storm that flooded his home, delaying the recording of this record for a year. In spite of all of those setbacks and hardships, Elf still manages to have a fairly sunny musical outlook when he straps on the guitar for this, his first album in eight years.  Mark Elf Returns 2014 finds the guitarist swinging alongside an A-list rhythm section made up of pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Lewis Nash. All three men were aboard for Elf's two previous projects Glad To Be Back (Jen Bay Records, 2004) and Liftoff (Jen Bay Records, 2006) so there's instant rapport, something that's really required when recording without rehearsal, as was done here. The music presented on this one is direct and accessible, as Elf delivers swingers, a couple of ballads, a spicy mambo, and plenty of songs that basically follow the tried-and-true head-solos-head format. And though the song form(s) may be predictable at times, song forms are merely vessels meant to contain the music. It's what the musicians put into those songs that counts, and these men only add the finest musical ideas and ingredients to these successful sonic recipes. 

The album opens on "A Little Ditty," a swinging number that's based on the changes of "Jordu," and quickly moves to ballad country with "It Was So Beautiful." After that, there's more modest swing, a one-off guest shot from percussionist Steven Kroon on "Michellie's Mambo," a pair of burning numbers that feature Elf on baritone guitar, and a mellow goodbye in the form of "The Sandy Effect." There's lots to love here solo-wise, with plenty of fine work from Elf and Hazeltine, lots of trading fours with Nash, and an eye-of-the-storm solo from Washington during "Low Blow." 

This is straight-ahead jazz as it should be played. Here's to hoping that life doesn't delay the next one from Elf. ~ Dan Bilawsky http://www.allaboutjazz.com/mark-elf-returns-2014-mark-elf-jen-bay-records-review-by-dan-bilawsky.php#.VDq1ahawTP8

(5:51) 13. Si El Mar Se Volviera Ron

The third recording for the self-proclaimed Latin Giants of Jazz is an all-out dance party disc, designed specifically for partying on a Saturday night. Everything is midtempo to upbeat, with no ballads in the bunch, although romantic sentimentality cannot be more than a stone's throw away. Many members of the Tito Puente Orchestra are included here; jazz stalwarts such as Bobby Porcelli, Peter Brainen, Sam Burtis, Mitch Froman, and Lewis Kahn, while Latin stalwarts Jimmy Bosch, Sonny Bravo, lead vocalist Frankie Vazquez, Cita Rodriguez (daughter of the late Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez), and music director Jose Madera anchor the big band. Source material comes from a wide variety of composers and arrangers, making for an exciting listening experience that has translated to the concert stage when presented all over the U.S. Vazquez has a commanding voice, direct and to the point, as best heard on his own during "Si El Mar Se Volviera Ron" in an almost scolding refrain. For the majority of the material, other members of the group join Vazquez in either lusty horn/piano/vocal counterpoint as on Bravo's arrangement of the triple-threat tune "Gua Cha Rumba," the steamy midtempo dance tunes "Lo Que Triago Es Salsa" and the trombone-laden title track, or Raul Marrerro's "Increible." This band knows its basics inside and out, as demonstrated on the instrumental "Cookin' the Mambo" composed by Ray Santos, with Froman and Brainen's punctual tenor sax solos, and it can really burn in high speed, as on Ahmad Katab Salim's "Cannology" with Porcelli's world-class alto sax feature as the ultimate show-stopper.

Rodriguez is featured on the classy, suave "Ahora Mismo," alongside Bosch's piquant trombone; Willie Martinez sings the only song in English, a pop/croon styled "I Still Love You." Luis "Perico" Ortiz's chart of Ignacio Piñero's "La Batidora Meneadora," is done in joyous, rich, la-la-la fashion, while the finale, "Cuando Suenan los Cueros" has the band more fervent than before, never letting up until the final notes are played, the players feeding off each other in typical but non-stop call and response. The excitement quotient of this band is way off the charts, there are no even moderately slow songs, therefore dancers should expect to be on their feet the entire time, with no rest breaks. Ven Baila Conmigo is perfect for either listening with friends, or your next celebratory gathering. ~ Michael G.Nastos  http://www.allmusic.com/album/ven-baila-conmigo-mw0001707738
