Tom McCarter Reviewed 2019-02-03 | ||
Reviewed: 2018-02-03 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Betty Bryant is a musical phenomenon. Her new album, “Project 88” is a reference to the 88 keys of the piano, and Bryant’s age. Bryant plays with a cool intensity and sings with a verve and style that makes her engaging to hear. If You Like: Ella Fitzgerald, Big Mama Thornton, Etta James Track Review (favorites denoted by *): 1/ Love Came And Went (3:12) – bass starts> uptempo song> piano solo> uptempo song> quick fade on vocal *2/ Oh, Lady Be Good (4:00) – piano starts> uptempo instrumental jam> piano solo> bass solo> drum solo> uptempo jam> quick fade **3/ Catfish Man (5;23) – drums start> bluesy midtempo song> sax solo> piano solo> midtempo song> crescendo end on sax 4/ Just You, Just Me (4:27) – piano/trumpet starts> midtempo song> piano solo> trumpet solo> flute solo> midtempo song crescendo end & some spoken words 5/ But Beautiful (5:36) – sax starts> slow song> piano solo> slow song> slow fade on sax *6/ Ain’t Nobody’s Business (5:47) – trumpet starts> swaggering midtempo song> piano solo> wailing trumpet solo> midtempo song> quick fade on vocal *7/ Cho Cho (3;50) – drums starts> uptempo instrumental samba> guitar solo> flute solo> piano solo> uptempo samba> quick stop **8/ They Say It’s Wonderful (3:340 – brush drums start> uptempo song> trumpet solo> bass solo> drum solo> uptempo song> trumpet solo to fade 9/ My Beloved (5:14) – piano starts> midtempo instrumental jam> piano solo> flute solo> slow jam> slow fade *10/ It’s Hard To Say Goodbye (4:10) – piano starts> slow song> midtempo instrumental break> uptempo song> crescendo end |
