by C. Michael Bailey
May 17, 2013

Keyboardist Matthew Nicholl and bassist Michael Farquharson assemble an adult contemporary jazz suite on Della by Moonlight. To be clear, this is not smooth jazz, and while smooth jazz has its charms--accessibility and listening ease being two of them--Nicholl and Farquharson's music requires a little more than just passive listening.
