Vocalist Carolyn Fitzhugh has a soul/gospel sound to her voice, and uses her instincts well on this album of originals and standards with Stu Mindeman/p, Tim Ipsen/b Alfonzo Jones/dr, Larry Brown Jr/g and Brent Griffin Jr/as. She throws herself into pieces like her own earthy modal title track, and can also get relaxed and unhurried as on the slinky “Always There.” With Griffin’s alto, she delivers a dramatic read of the bop classic “A Night in Tunisia” whereas she skips along to a flowing take of Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage. ” Brown’s guitar complements symbiotically on the flowing and lazy “When Sunny Gets Blue” and the team shows pluck on the smooth sailing “I Still.” Eager to please, and successful as well; truth in advertising on the album title!
