Dancing
in the Mystery
   Rebecca
Williams
As each new Williams release has washed over all who have ears to hear,
as each heaven-touched work leaves admirers sitting speechless in slack-jawed
wonder, questions eventually come to mind: Might her approach gradually
become predictable or stale? Will she ever exhaust her deep reservoir
of soul-stirring ideas? Remarkably, Dancing in the Mystery instead establishes
new artistic heights for this gifted musician.
Listen
for the Love
   Don
Strong
Don Strong, the captain of smooth, has hit a new plateau with this album.
Driven to artistic heights beyond anyone else's imaginings, Don's simmering
textures soar into smooth smoky tones. The gentler moments on this disk
are celebratory and remarkable. Covering a wide range of stylistic ground,
this is a pure jazz slam of warm-toned, pleasantly lissom acoustic sounds.
A straight-ahead, no-muss, no-fuss hands-down must-have album for jazz
lovers.
