Pianist Noel Freidline leads his jazz quintet through various standard tunes at the Las Vegas recording studio home of comedian/magician Penn Jillette on Four Nights at the Slammer. Jillette -- of Penn & Teller fame -- is apparently also a jazz bassist who holds a weekly jam session at his home, "the Slammer." Freidline is a nimble pianist with a bent for mellow harmonics and lush arrangements. Helping to exploit these talents to good effect are vocalist Rene Ebalaroza, vibraphonist Christian Tamburr, bassist Elisa Pruett, and drummer Ken Tackett. ~ Matt Collar Noel Freidline Quintet: Noel Freidline (vocals, piano); Elisa Pruett (vocals, acousitc bass); Renee Ebalaroza (vocals); Christian Tamburr (vibraphone, percussion); Justin Varnes (drums).
