(Vocal Jazz) Suzanne Cabot - Fine & Mellow - 2012, MP3, 320 kbps

Suzanne Cabot reveals her sweet and bluesy style in her debut CD, "Fine and Mellow" with the ever- unique improvisations of pianist Pamela Hines and bassist David Clark. There's plenty of Lady Day tunes and it's clear that Cabot is a Holiday fan from the first track, "Fine and Mellow." This Boston-based trio offers a very intimate take on ten tunes without drums. The fresh improvisations in this close setting make you feel as though the stage is three feet away. Hines and Clark offer strong solos to make this CD a three-way creative journey that you'll want to listen to over and over.
