When one applies for a job, sometimes the response is that you're overqualified. The same may be the case for Peisha McPhee. Her classically trained, strong, clear voice of operatic proportions doesn't always fit well with the songs on the play list, songs that require somewhat more vocal dynamics than McPhee gives. Trying hard as she can to restrain her powerful voice, she comes on too strong for such pop material as "Ill Wind" and "Little Girl Blue," which require greater subtlety than McPhee provides. At the same time, her voice and demeanor go well with songs that have a strong emotional tug, such as "Who Can I Turn To?" There's also a cleverly contrived dubbed a cappella duet on "Isn't It Romantic." But her forte is in the Gershwin material. "The Man I Love" and the Gershwin medley require the dramatic reading that a formidable voice like McPhee's can give them. Her sole accompaniment for this session is pianist, composer, and voice teacherMel Dangcil. Usually the concern is that the piano player may overwhelm the singer. Not the case here. Dangcil has to work hard not be swamped by the strong voice of McPhee. The result is that matters sometimes get a bit busy. McPhee needs more than just a piano to provide an adequate framework for her exceptional voice. For the pure pleasure of hearing a lovely voice, this album is recommended. ~ Dave ...

Despite being a three time winner of It's Showtime at the Apollo, winner of the Cognac Hennesy Jazz Search and a protégé of the late Grover Washington, Jr., this Michigan based saxman may be the most accomplished player, composer and producer groove-loving smooth jazz fans have never heard of. He's also been "hiding," doing sessions and live dates over the years with everyone from Norman Brown and Will Downing to Kirk Franklin and Najee. But after three previous indie releases, his shadowy profile was bound to move to the forefront with the release of this in the pocket, gospel tinged, sensual soul-driven debut on Megawave Records. His national profile has increased these past years as he's toured with the popular guitarist Tim Bowman, who makes his crackling electric presence known on the lively, ultra-catchy and slightly retro soprano tune "Bliss." The opening title track is a joyful blend of thump, brass and catchy wordless vocals, while "Mo' Better Blues" digs deeper and shows Scott's sense of soul-jazz history, very much in the Cannonball Adderley style. For the most part, Scott keeps an even mid-tempo and romantic keel, joining straight to the heart, picture perfect (and radio ready) melodies with colorful swirls of vocals and dazzling horn sections. His gospel influences shine ever so gently through the brassy sway and Electronic Wind Instrument melody of one of the most memorable tracks, "Hope in Darkness"; other tunes like "Voyage" show off his strong flute skills and his love for more adventurous jazz. This disc, which primed the versatile saxman for breakthrough instrumental stardom, is part of a rollout of various projects that marks the Lansing, MI based Megawave's emergence onto the national scene after being a regional label for 35 years. ~ Jonathan Widran
The new release from saxophonist Randy Scott is a tour de force. Breathe has unforgettable melodies, 'radio-ready' feel, and emotional performances that combine to show Randy Scott at his best. A producer, composer, and musician proficient on all musical instruments, ...
