Ava Logan: So Many Stars
Siamo dalle parti della tradizione, interiorizzata come forma espressiva, senza grandi variazioni in termini di arrangiamenti originali o di assoli ai limiti della tonalità. Tuttavia un paio di esecuzioni spiccano, come "Wild Is the Wind" o "Detour Ahead," in mezzo ad altre più convenzionali, più immediatamente riconoscibili.
Per i quattro musicisti della ritmica e la cantante il jazz sembra parte del patrimonio genetico e lo swing una cosa naturale, senza sguardi verso la cultura pop. Suonano credibili: ed in questo è la forza di un disco che si rivolge a chi ama la grande tradizione eseguita con una certa raffinatezza.
