| | Julie Kelly Into The Light CD Julie Kelly Discography of CDs
Into the Light builds on the solid foundation of Julie Kelly's two previous albums for Chase Music Group and is a strong testament to her artistry. She engages in what would be called risk taking for a less experienced and knowledgeable singer, but it's water sliding off a duck's back for Kelly. The selections she chose for this album also reflect her experience and on all of them she uses her musicians wisely. The play is filled with a diverse set of tunes from a diverse group of composers. Old favorites are represented by such tunes as "The Folks Who Live on the Hill" -- aided and abetted with an arrangement built around Jody Burnet's richly hued cello -- "I've Got the World on a String" where Tom Warrington's bass is prominent. But there are also tunes from contemporary song writing teams like Alan Broadbent/Dave Frishberg and Sunny Wilkinson/Brian Lynch. One of the really entertaining tracks on the set is Sonny Stitt's "Sonny's Bounce" where Kelly has added lyrics. Jeff Clayton kicks in with a forceful and vigorous sax engaging in give and take with guitarist Larry Koonse. This song is also the vehicle for a rare Kelly foray into scat as she joyously scampers along the melody line with Koonse and Clayton. Everyone's clearly having a lot of fun with this one. The old saw that good lyrics sound like poetry put to music is given meaning with Kelly's interpretation of "His Eyes, Her Eyes" written for the movie, Thomas Crown Affair. Those backing Kelly provide stellar support. But Bill Cunliffe's accommodating but not passive piano, is a key to the quality of this session. Cunliffe is moving into that upper tier of accompanists reserved for only the very best like Hank Jones, Jimmy Rowles, Tommy Flanagan, and Ellis Larkins. Throughout "Hooray for Love" he quotes Francis Craig's piano chords from the huge 1947 number one pop hit, "Near You." This CD contains a relaxed 55 minutes of musicianship of the highest order and is accordingly highly recommended. ~ Dave Nathan

This anthology collects a number of obscure 78s by Charles Mingus, many of which have not been reissued since they were originally released during the 1940s. Many of the vocal features are fairly traditional ballads, and Mingus was by no means an inventive lyricist, but it is the strong solos by the musicians within these tracks and the often rather progressive arrangements (even if their execution is not always perfect) that generally merit the most attention. One notable exception is Helen Carr's performance on the standard "Say It Isn't So," which opens with a superb bass solo by Mingus. Carr's sultry vocal is also accompanied by her then-husband Donn Trenner on piano; tragically, her only other recordings prior to her premature death were two records for Bethlehem. Among the instrumental tracks, "Shuffle Bass Boogie" is a lively 12-bar blues featuring Mingus at the forefront and fine solos by saxophonists Lucky Thompson and Willie Smith (two of the bigger names among the cast of lesser-known players). Buddy Collette's "Bedspread" is a mid-tempo ...
