MAINSTREAM JAZZ, SMALL ENSEMBLE WITH VOCALS Composer / leader Marc Bernstein plays bass clarinet, soprano & alto sax. His group comprises piano, bass, drums. Danish vocalist Sinne Eeg has a rich & varied alto voice. No FCC issues. 1 Mid-tempo. Intriguing music: Bernstein’s bass clarinet & Eeg’s bassoon-like tone work nicely together. Preposterous lyrics ruin it. (6:43) 2 * Mid-fast with a lot of drive & passion. Bernstein plays in a high register with a bit of squawk. Eeg sings with a bit of Flora Purim-like exoticness. (7:28) 3 Very slow, late-night ballad. Bass clarinet & piano open; vocal is deep & warm; strong bass & piano bridge. (6:42) 4 * Slow, bluesy crawl. Eeg shines with a vampy chanteuse style. Old-time sound including some scat singing. Strong rhythm section. (7:09) 5 Very very slow. Old Michel Legrand pop song. Truly awful. (6:26) 6 ** Mid-tempo. Improv feel; modal & multi-textured. Strong sax, piano; no vocal. (7:48) 7 * Very slow. Avant-garde strangeness, bird sounds, wordless singing. Tense, eerie. (8:01) 8 Mid-tempo. Boppy vocal accompanied by piano & bass. (1:36) 9 Slightly slower, bluesier reprise of track #2. (6:33) | ||
