Sandra King treasures the memory of a day in the mid-1970s when she came to Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London to rehearse for an engagement. As she and her accompanist Pat Smythe ran through Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood," King noticed a man watching her from the back. He came closer, and she found herself face to face with Stan Getz. He proceeded to tell her how much he admired her singing. "Stan was finishing a two-week booking there that night," she recalls. "He asked me if I'd like to join him on stage to sing a couple of songs. I was terrified, but I went down there and sang while he played behind me. It's an experience I'll never forget."

Bassist Colin Trusedell is making quite the name for himself. His previous recordings, Colin Trusedell Trio: Some Of My Best Friends Are... Divas (Self Produced, 2013) and Colin Trusedell: Quartet Of Jazz Death (Self Produced, 2014) were well received within these electronic pages. The former was a most excellent acoustic affair featuring some of Trusedell's singing colleagues from the US Air Force. The latter is an electric smorgasbord showing that Trusedell is capable of ramping up the funk as in cooling down the standards.

Trusedell opts for the traditional jazz trio approach on It's All About the Hustle, an assembly of 10 original compositions that swing right down the middle of the mainstream. On the eclectic "2:15 Blues," Trusedell sets a brisk pace for the band over a clever 12-bar statement. Pianist Shawn Hanlon demonstrates both fists of his muscular and precise playing. Trusedell allows himself plenty of time for an elastic pizzacatto solo that walks right out the door. Drummer Paul Shaw trades eights with Hanlon in a by-the-book blowing- session blues. Grace and sophistication. ~C. Michael Bailey

Personnel: Shawn Hanlon: piano; Colin Trusedell: bass; Paul Shaw: drums.

Luke Maxim - Stay

01. Sunshine (3:53)
02. Stay (4:57)
03. Tonight We Fly (3:32)
04. I Can't Give You Anything (2:44)
05. Slow Down (4:36)

09. Young And Beautiful (5:01)
10. Tu Vuo Fa L'americano (2:48)
11. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams (4:22)

If you’re looking for an album that will make you melt, Luke Maxim’s Stay is it. For the majority, the album is comprised of covers, which just adds to his “Buble-esque” style. However, with original tracks like the upbeat “Sunshine,” Maxim brings jazz back in a whole new way. His vocals are smooth like honey, and the gorgeous instrumentals behind him only add to this stunning track. It’s so refreshing to hear music like this again.

The title track of the album, “Stay,” is a subtly beautiful track, and each line just oozes this hypnotizing power. If you don’t melt listening to this, I have no hope for you. It’s a plea, an expression of restless fear, and the start of the madness love can cause. The track builds, and I find myself holding my breath waiting for the each verse, and the rich, lush instrumentals that encompass the song with this spine-tingling power. The theme of the madness of love seems to pop up a few times, with a cover of Michael Jackson’s “I Can’t Help It,” and a duet, “More Than a Dream.” On the latter, the two vocalists match with raw power, which only builds alongside the music.

Each of Maxim’s covers presented on Stay add a whole new love to the songs that are already pretty much worshipped, like The Divine Comedy’s “Tonight We Fly” or the classics like “Tu Vuò Fà L’Americano,” and “I Can’t Give You Anything.” Maxim’s vocals are, for lack of a better phrase, on point. “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” is just as stunning as the Tony Bennet tune has always been, but it is his rendition of the Foo Fighters’ “Everlong,” and his male-version of Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” that stand out as the strongest covers. They are truly magical, and add a whole other dimension to Maxim’s versatility. If you already love these songs, Maxim’s cover will only add to the adoration.

“Slow Down” is the ballad of a heartbroken man, who tried to fight for a love that wasn’t going to last, and who’s upset that his lover moved on so quickly. Maxim’s inflection on the chorus, backed by gorgeous harmonies, adds a truly magical depth to the track. Luke Maxim will hit the big time before you know it; this song instills that feeling. His versatility and talent are both showcased wonderfully on this album, although it would be nice to hear a fully original album. Whether or not that comes later, I guess we’ll see.

Christine Corvisier 5tet - Reconnaissance

10. Bankrupt (7:09)
11. Found It! (5:05)

The Christine Corvisier 5tet is a French-German Band from Cologne (Germany) that leaves a unique footprint in the contemporary european jazz scene. The modern jazz tunes and arrangements composed by the young saxophone player perfectly combine lyricism and high energy; with the particularity that this music is as much enjoyable for jazz insiders as it is for anybody else.

Barely taller than her Saxophone, Christine Corvisier that originally comes from Nice (France), regulary surprises her audience with her big tenor sound and her virtuosity, while still adding a feminine touch to her music which makes it attractively special.

The album "Reconnaissance" stands out by the presence of 2 polyphonic instruments played by Sebastian Scobel (piano) and Martin Schulte (guitar). Both musicians perfectly understand each other musically and manage to shape a refreshing and creative atmosphere as much for the improvisations as for the compositions of the leader.

The drummer Thomas Sauerborn always serves the music, with his constant subtle interaction with the soloist as well as in company with David Andres, who adds drive to the band with his sophisticated bass lines.

One more particular thing of "Reconnaissance" is the use of vocal counterpoint arrangements, sung by the great Filippa Gojo (winner of the renowned Neuer Deutscher Jazzpreis 2015) that brings an additional colour to the compositions.

Christine Corvisier makes a wink to her country by arranging the famous french song "La Foule" from Edith Piaf that she reharmonised and recreated for a perfect adaptation of the band's style.

12. Impressions (4:55)
13. Over The Rainbow (5:09)

There is a tuneful Constellation in the West and her name is Laurie Antonioli. Returning to her native Bay Area in 2006 after an expatriate period in Europe where she served as professor of voice at Austria's Kug University, she formed her "American Dreams" band recording, most recently, the well critically well-received albums, American Dreams (Intrinsic Music, 2010) and what is considered her breakout, the excellent Songs of Shadow, Songs of Light: the Music of Joni Mitchell (Origin Records, 2014)

Antonioli returns in an anticipated paring with pianist and composer Richie Beirach on the intense and introspective Varuna. Antonioli's association with Beirach dates to the early 1990s when the two recorded(and released in 2005) The Duo Session (Nabel Records). This release demonstrated an already established report between the two artists that manifested in a mutual understanding and respect readily heard on the recording. The two picked up where they left off, in 2006, recording six pieces in Leipzig, Germany (while both were teaching there) and then in again 2012, recording seven pieces in Berkeley, CA.

After this lengthy maturation, Antonioli was ready to release these recordings, intelligently programmed as only she could do. Part of the recording focuses on the aesthetic beauty of Antonioli's durable alto which she employs in the wordless songs like, "Varuna" and the three pieces of the "Resolution Suite." She and Beirach reach a rarefied interface between instrument and voice and between heart and mind. They tie this foray into a nice bundle with an almost spiritual take on John Coltrane's "Impressions." This is where Beirach fully cuts loose and shows off his famous chops.

Antonioli uses an inspired collection of standards that perfectly meld with the originals. The two artists allow Alexander Scriabin's "Prelude in E-flat Minor" to carefully dissolve into "My Funny Valentine." Long relegated to the stack of standards that should no longer be covered, "Valentine" is daunting. Only the most original and creative interpretations need be tried with this piece of music. Gladly, the two transmogrify the piece into something delicate and special. They take "Valentine," "Haunted Heart," and "Over the Rainbow" and define the modern art song as if they breathed the same air as Schubert and Wolf. ~C. Michael Bailey

Personnel: Laurie Antonioli: vocals; Richie Beirach: piano; Pepe Bernes: bass (5-8).

[ 6:49] 9. Friday The 13th

Previously unreleased until 1991, this 1959 date features Frank Wess leading a septet of players mainly associated with Count Basie, pianist Hank Jones the only one not from some version of the Count's organization. Unlike some of the other Savoy releases in the Opus De series, this is not chamber jazz, but a relaxed, blowing session. The five blues-based themes are pleasant, easygoing vehicles, familiar ground for any Basie associate. The playing is skillful, although unremarkable. The exceptions, typical for a Wess session, occur when the leader switches to flute, giving listeners a taste of the most interesting aspect of his musicianship: a satisfying blend of fluid grace and breathy impertinence.

Besides the leaders' flute work, the Jones brothers, Hank and Thad, contribute the session's more original blues interpretations. There is also some tight ensemble work from the horns on Wess's "I hear Ya Talkin'" and Thad Jones' "Struttin' Down Broadway." Not essential listening, but of possible interest to Basiephiles. The sound recording is good, accurately capturing the horns, rhythm section, and ensemble parts. ~Jim Todd

(5:59)  9. We'll Be Together Again

Altoist Vincent Herring gained his initial recognition for his ability to emulate Cannonball Adderley while a member of Nat Adderley's quintet. On this CD, a 1994 date made for the Japanese Alfa label and released for the first time in the U.S. in 1997, the emphasis is on slower tempos with just a few moments of heat (particularly Jobim's "Triste"). Pianist Cyrus Chestnut often gains one's attention with both his creative accompaniment and solos; bassist Jesse Murphy and drummer Billy Drummond are fine in support. 

Herring is in worthwhile form but does not stretch himself much in this setting, playing unadventurous solos on nine very familiar standards, most of which do not need to be revived again (such as "Star Eyes," "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "We'll Be Together Again"). ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/days-of-wine-and-roses-mw0000613521

Sandi Thom's 'The Covers Collection' has Stevie Nicks’ smouldering angst running right through it, which shouldn’t be a surprise given the Scottish singer-songwriter’s ‘obsessive’ devotion to Fleetwood Mac. It's a simple, timeless collection that feels like being wrapped in multiple layers of silk, producing flashes of joy even in moments of sorrow. Blurring the lines between blues, rock, folk, pop, Americana and country, ‘The Covers Collection’ houses Thom’s take on Nine Inch Nails’ Hurt, Guns N’ Roses November Rain, More Than Words by Extreme and Eva Cassidy's Songbird, not to mention versions of Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me, Alannah Myles' Black Velvet and Aerosmith's Dream On.This record is as close to a page-turning best seller as you'll get, maintaining original twists on the source material and highlighting the honest, raw nature of Thom’s voice. The more she reveals of herself through her choices, the more in tune she becomes. With five albums now strapped to her belt and forthcoming tour dates in the UK, Europe and the US, ‘The Covers Collection’ could be a pivotal moment in Thom’s musical development. http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/182656/9
