Stunning New York City singer and actress Carter Calvert has been on Broadway ("It Ain't Nothing But the Blues") and tours (Smokey Joe's Café and Cats) and now she offers her own CD of classics from the great American songbook and beyond, from a powerful run through Roger & Hart's "Bothered and Bewildered" and Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Send In the Clowns" to stretching out Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," a compelling reading of Peter Gabriel's "Washing of the Water" and even deep blues with "Motherless Child." That all said, she makes it more than obvious that jazz singing of the smoky and fiery kind is her true home, as in a smoldering reading of "Fever" and even her cover of country classic, "Crazy," that swings while Calvert simply soars, as she does the sassy "Please Don't Stop Him" (with a killer drum break from Cohen).

Throughout, Jim West (piano), Brian Glassman (bass), and Roger Cohen (drums, leader), have an uncanny chemistry and a smart way with an arrangements. It all comes together in the epic "Not While I'm Around" (Sondheim), a complex, yet elegant arrangement, with a passionate delivery by Calvert (check out the jaw-dropping final note) and an intriguing, ominous percolating outro. Calvert is someone who knows intuitively how to find the heart and center of a song, and her voice is pure pleasure. Surely one of the finest vocalists on the scene, she easily connects with this gorgeous record. Seek out Calvert and crew, and know you won't be disappointed.  http://www.dailyfreeman.com/general-news/20130726/sound-advice-carter-calvert-and-the-roger-cohen-trio-offer-american-classics
