Fay Victor Ensemble: Cartwheels Through the Cosmos

Read "Cartwheels Through the Cosmos" reviewed by John Kelman


Sometimes first impressions can be deceiving. “Leap of Faith," the opening track on Fay Victor's Cartwheels Through the Cosmos, bursts out of the speakers, suggestion a hard-edged album filled with relentless energy when that's only part of the equation.

Fay Victor Ensemble: Cartwheels Through the Cosmos

Read "Cartwheels Through the Cosmos" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Fay Victor marks an impressive presence on Cartwheels Through the Cosmos as she comes up with an arresting amalgam of songs. Victor neither caters to the norm nor does she slot herself. Instead, she soars free and often beautifully as her phrasing finds a comfort zone in jazz harmony. Her sense of improvisation is another asset; ...

Fay Victor: Darker Than Blue

Read "Darker Than Blue" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


If American expatriate Fay Victor assimilates the grace of Nancy Wilson, the delivery of Betty Carter, and the courage of Cassandra Wilson, her guitarist, Anton Goudsmit channels the tone of Kenny Burrell, the image of Charlie Christian and the attitude of James Blood Ulmer. This is fairly well illustrated on “Tonight," Ms. Victor's take on Herbie ...
