Bob Dorough: Sunday At Iridium
ByWith the members of his quartet sharing the soloing duties, Dorough gives his audience a creative session. Bassist Steve Gilmore swings with a hearty foundation, giving the program an additional lyrical voice. Guitarist Steve Berger adds fluid lines that soar gently above the room. Drummer Ed Ornowski provides a solid groove with varied textures. Dorough delivers a sparkling performance at the piano, but it's his vocal interpretations that thrill.
"Electricity, Electricity" swings with a vibrant spirit that proves memorable. The ballad "We'll Be Together Again" drifts gently along rose petal lanes. "Without Rhyme or Reason" recalls the vocal duets that Dorough created long ago with Blossom Dearie. His 2004 performance remains as timeless.
Dorough's "But For Now" moves stealthily along a blues-covered walkway. The singer's heartfelt emotion comes through clearly. It's what he does best: convincing the world that he loves the music that he creates. Highly recommended, Sunday At Iridium reaches out and takes hold of your heart for keeps.
