Gregg Belisle-Chi: I Sang To You And The Moon
Un chiaro modello di riferimento è il Bill Frisell "pastorale" del quartetto con Ron Miles, Eyvind Kang e Curtis Fowlkes: dolci melodie folk che si snodano lentamente in un gioco di sottigliezze timbriche e lirici assoli a cui si aggiunge la voce luminosa di Chelsea Crabtree.
Anche lo stile chitarristico del leader è influenzato dal modello Frisell ma il suo lavoro ha molti elementi di pregio: ricercatezza nelle composizioni e negli arrangiamenti, intensità lirica, ammirevole equilibio tra le parti vocali e quelle strumentali. Il trombettista Raymond Larsen è un solista da tenere d'occhio per lo splendido timbro e la forte impronta lirica. Stesso dicasi per la cantate, che ha già inciso assieme a Gregg Belisle-Chi il suo primo album da leader, mostrandosi interprete versatile anche in ambito rock. Carmen Rothwell è tra i migliori bassisti emergenti e s'è messa in luce collaborando con Cuong Vu, di cui è stata allieva, Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz e Dave Douglas.
