Claire Ritter, Ran Blake: Eclipse Orange
C'è un'impronta classicheggiante che aleggia lungo l'intero lavoro, svolto attorno a temi di Monk, Gershwin, Jobim e altri, ma soprattutto di Claire Ritter (undici sui venti totali) e in misura minore (tre) Ran Blake, un estremo aplomb che rompe di rado gli argini del bon ton, generando ora ammirazione ora un minimo di assuefazione. L'ascolto è ovunque gradevole, le esecuzioni inappuntabili (tranne, se vogliamo, nel "I Mean You" del duo Ritter/ O'Doherty, non esente da qualche imprecisione). Ottimo album per chi non pretende l'invenzione a tutti i costi.
