Notes:
An eclectic mix of old and new songs arranged by jazz trumpeter Greg Hopkins for a large ensemble featuring Tim Ray - piano, Paul Del Nero - acoustic bass, Fernando Huergo - electric bass, Mark Walker - drums, Bertram Lehmann - percussion, Shannon LeClaire - alto sax/clarinet, Bob Patton - flutes/engineering, Fernando Brandão - flutes, Rick DiMuzio - tenor sax/clarinet, Ben Whiting - baritone sax/bass clarinet, Eric Hofbauer - guitar and Eugene Friesen - cello.
Review:
Longing is a very interesting and beautiful recording. Kris Adams has a straight-forward and honest delivery to her sound and she is right in the center of every note. She makes these melodies and other vocal lines sound so effortless on a set of songs that are anything but simple. She is surrounded by a cast of great jazz musicians from top to bottom and the arrangements by Greg Hopkins are perfect. This type of recording has so much depth that you know you will listen to it many times in order to catch everything. It is brave and also rare for a vocalist not to bathe her sound in reverb and it works here, very direct and personal. Very enjoyable and highly recommended. ~by Matt Richard
