Liquid Melodies
Genre: Jazz
Review: an apt title: both the vocalist and the guitarist are very fluid in their performance. Nissim uses a lot of scat singing and blends her voice effectively as another instrument with the group. Everyone is jamming, not just supporting the song. Originals mixed with a few choice gems.
FCCs: none
If You Like: Flora Purim, Annie Ross, Tuck & Patti, Rickie Lee Jones
