Heather Powell definitely has flawless vocal technique, as she more than likely has been classically trained. She has the ability to project to the back of the house with pitch-perfect accuracy, a skill only seen in well-trained opera and musical theatre singers. An unfortunate side effect of this level of skill is that the emotional projection can be sacrificed in favor of technique. This is the case with most of the songs on "A Haze of Grays and Blue", though it is clear with her lyrics that there is something very emotional and personal Powell wanted to connote.

Rick Braun is a smooth jazz trumpet player, multi-instrumentalist and often producer. Braun, like fellow contemporary jazz trumpeter Chris Botti, has always managed to turn what could be a disadvantage for his chosen instrument into a virtue. That trend continues on Can You Feel It, Braun’s 16th studio album. While contemporary jazz saxophonists sometimes dominate the musical conversation, Braun’s reputation as a collaborator – take note of his work with Boney James, as well as his projects with Kirk Whalum and Norman Brown in the band BWB and with Richard Elliot in duo RnR. He continues to play well with others on Can You Feel It, tapping an all-star lineup of musicians that includes Euge Groove, Brian Culbertson, Elliott Yamin and Jeff Lorber.

In an age of safety-first conformity, it’s a refreshing pleasure to see an artist like Gabby Young develop on her own terms. With a shock of flame-red hair and a live show that owes as much to theatrical showmanship as much as it does to musicianship, she’s become pretty difficult to pigeonhole over the course of her career. One Foot In Front Of The Other, Young’s third album, continues this uncategorisable journey. Mixing together jazz, folk, cabaret, burlesque and swing (often in the same song) and delivered by Young’s extraordinary, operatic vocals, the results manage to be quirky without annoying and accessible while remaining defiantly uncommercial.

With the robust energy and cool enthusiasm that has become the trademark of pianist/keyboardist/composer/producer Bob Baldwin’s tributes to the Bob Baldwin CDicons of our time, he has again worked his magic on a tribute to the great Stevie Wonder with a project called MelloWonder: Songs in the Key of Stevie.

When keyboard player Raphael Wressnig – a native of Graz, Austria – sets out to do a soul/blues/funk CD, he definitely doesn’t mess around. He’s gathered together several of the best musicians from the Crescent City and beyond to produce this smooth, stylish album.
