This set of unaccompanied guitar solos is quite enjoyable and generally laid-back. Jimmy Ponder had recorded in many settings through the years, but never solo. He emphasizes chords, does not utilize basslines much, and keeps the melodies of the songs nearby. His interpretations are concise and usually at relaxed tempos. The music on Alone can work quite well as backgrounds, but a close listen will reveal subtle and quiet creativity. A special surprise is Ponder's effective vocal (his first on record in 15 years) during "Our Day Will Come." Recommended. ~ Scott YanowJazzTimes (8/03, p.149) - "...ALONE proves an ideal showcase for Ponder to display considerable skills and overall guitar acumen....ALONE serves as a nice alternative to his customary efforts..."

Alone
$17.09
On her debut recording, singer Teraesa Vinson takes a fresh look at time-tested standards while adding a twist or two for good measure. Her smooth sound makes her singing seem effortless at times. She's laid-back but swinging throughout the opener, "What a Difference a Day Made," propelled by her walking rhythm section. Pianist Carlton Holmes shines as Vinson's driving Latin-tinged approach to "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." Artie Shaw's "Moon Ray," a great song not nearly performed often enough, kicks off with Vinson's spacious duet with bassist Nicki Parrott. The bittersweet ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me," forever associated with Bonnie Raitt's widely known recording, is turned by Venison into a powerful jazz vehicle, with Ron Blake's emotional tenor sax and Dion Parson's solid drumming, while Tom Dempsey's spacious guitar retains a bit of country flavor. "While We're Young" has long been one of Alec Wilder's most beloved compositions and Vinson soars in her joyful interpretation. She romps through Jerome Kern's "The Song Is You" and revives the overlooked gem "Young and Foolish" with a tender performance. She makes the most of singer Sheila Jordan's arrangement of "The Way You Look Tonight," a superb duet with Dempsey. Oscar Brown, Jr.'s "Opportunity Please Knock," a commentary on the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, opens with a gospel flavor, before switching gears into a soul-jazz strut. This is a delightful introduction to Teraesa Vinson, a promising jazz singer. ~ Ken Dryden
A debut recording is an exciting opportunity for music lovers-the chance to discover a talent for the first time. Teraesa Vinson's first recording effort, Opportunity Please Knock, offers a glimpse of a promising future. The collection's combination of well-loved choices from the Great American Songbook, along with a dash of lesser-known tunes and beautiful rendition of a pop standard, will give new audiences a treat.Recorded April 4, 5, and May 24, 2004 at Eastside Sound ...
