On this album of vocal jazz from Carolyn Graye, a Seattle resident and occasional traveler on behalf of the U.S. government, Graye sings with only the accompaniment of Jessica Williams on piano, giving the album a nice nightclub mood. The vocals are given just the right intonation to keep a smoky atmosphere in the mix, and the piano, while given a good deal of freedom, usually keeps to relatively simple riffing, only occasionally going for extended romps of arpeggios ŕ la Art Tatum. The songs chosen are largely standards, though bits of newer material creep in here and there (while the sounds remain in the older styles, the lyrics present a more contemporary touch with references to America Online, among other things). Highlights include Ellington's later adaptation of "Concerto for Cootie" in the classic "Do Nothin' 'Till You Hear from Me" and Freddie Hubbard's "Up Jumped Spring," which both give Graye the time she needs to stretch out on the vocals to her full ability. While the album doesn't necessarily break any new ground on its course, it's certainly worth a listen, as it's a solid endeavor all around. Pick it up for another listen to what's happening in the usually overlooked but quite vibrant Seattle jazz scene. ~ Adam Greenberg

This isn't Sutton's tribute to Sinatra, although all the material here was recorded and made famous by him. Instead, it's her working through the nooks and crannies of his songbook, and bringing things out and putting her own particular polish on them. It could be something with strings, such as "What'll I Do?" or the intimacy of "I'll Be Around," which is as much a plea as a reassurance and resignation. Her version of "I Think of You," whose melody comes originally from Rachmaninov, is gloriously subtle, the emotion as softly drawn out as the syllables. "I Could Have Told You" offers comfort and a shoulder to cry on, a gentle embrace that's almost a whisper in Sutton's hands. The music here is at its best when the orchestra keeps away -- they simply become overkill, the too-sweet icing on an already-delicious cake. ...
| | Eden Atwood This Is Always: Ballad Session CD (2004)
Songs
$12.89
Eden Atwood exhibits a confidence that few jazz vocalists of her generation seem to have in standards. While others seem to be opting for lightweight rock hits from the 1970s and 1980s, Atwood is able to find new approaches to old chestnuts that seem to be overlooked in the early 21st century. She shines in pianist Bill Cunliffe's loping arrangement of "Without a Song." Atwood restores the frequently omitted verse to "This Is Always," then steps back to feature Tom Harrell's brilliant, fragile trumpet, while conveying the lyrics with a sincerity that few singers seem able to convey. "Blame It on My Youth" is a powerful performance. She sings the verse unaccompanied, with bassist Darek Oleszkiewicz joining her afterward as her sole backing, then Harrell's emotional trumpet takes her place to wrap it. Cunliffe's piano playing in "Deep Purple" is a throwback to an earlier era, as Atwood captures the nuances of this gem. But it is hard to surpass her moving rendition of "You Leave Me Breathless." Atwood and her musicians are clearly having fun in their fresh take of ...

| | Who Dat? The Best Of New Orleans Party Songs CD (2006)
Songs
$14.09
New Orleans will always be party central, and this 2006 compilation reflects the resilience and great spirit of the Crescent City's musicians. Local stalwarts Rockin' Dopsie Jr., the ReBirth Brass Band, and the Olympia Brass Band make memorable appearances here.
Who Dat: New Orleans Party Songs is a collection of upbeat New Orleans party songs, at least on the surface. It's also a thinly veiled set of funky second line chants in support of the NFL's New Orleans Saints football team. But that's not all. It's also an exploration of the utilitarian street use of that old chestnut spiritual "When the Saints Go Marching In," which is deconstructed and reconfigured here in all sorts of ways. The "Who Dat" chant has deep New Orleans jazz roots, and became the rough template for ...

For the past 20 years I’ve played my guitar and sang my songs for lots of wonderful people. I’ve played from the Bayou’s of Louisiana, towns along the Gulf of Mexico, out west in Arizona, Florida and the Keys, the coast of Georgia, South Carolina, my home in North Carolina and a lot of places in between. It has been great!This experience has been made so special because of the people I’ve met. The large assortment of folks, one meets in bars and honky-tonks, my fellow fisherman either, commercial or sports fisherman and my musician buddies. What touches my heart most and makes some of the warmest memories are the older people I have met that have been together through thick and thin. The watermen of the shallows, the oyster men, the clammers and the off shore Captains of the big rigs. Time and distance could never destroy their relationships, if anything, it only made them stronger. When I wrote the song, “The Oysterman” it was around 5:00am in the morning, about the time most fishermen get up or are already hard at work. I thought of Bill Carraway, the Dock master at the ESSO fuel terminal on the Cape Fear River, Wilmington, NC. Grainger Thompson and Chester Canaday, sprang to mind, both being long time watermen on Middle Sound near Wilmington, NC. Also in my heart was my friend Doug King, a commercial king mackerel fisherman from Sebastian, Florida, Roland Hill, an oysterman I had met in Grant, Florida and my young friend, Capt. Danny Brown, my favorite guide in Key Largo, Florida. My friends in Hatteras, NC, Capt. DM Gray, ...
