Artist: Carolyn Graye/Jessica Williams
Album: Songs
CD Review: The simple, unadorned title fits the contents. This is just an album of Carolyn Graye singing against Jessica Williams’ romantic, hardly flashy piano. A real piano. It is night and nightclub jazz for those of us who really Dig this kind of naked, sweet, cool, old-fashioned style.

It is a truly beautiful release, from a truly beautiful jazz label. OriginArts. I’ve sung the praises on these guys before myself. They are the best of the non-major labels that promote jazz in all its masks. No. I’ll retract that. They are the best, end of story.

With voice and piano, you’ll be captured by the silk-like production of

That’s All
Blue Bossa
Up Jumped Spring
Alone Together
If You Could See Me Now
Do Nothing Til You Hear from Me
Everything Happens to Me
Get Outa Town
We’ll Be Together Again
Turnaround

I don’t know what you’re reading this sentence for. You should be on your way to the store to buy it.
