Javon Jackson and Nikki Giovanni: Javon & Nikki Go To The Movies

Warm toned saxist Javon Jackson salutes movie themes with poet Niki Giovanni and vocalist  Nicole Zuraities taking turns with a rhythm team of Jeremy Manasia/p, David Williams/b and Hunter/dr. Sans voices, Jackson croons on the Selmer himself on an easy swinger “When The Time Is Right”, a totally hip “Valse Hot” and serene “ The Nearness of You”. Giovanni’s poems wisp on the Latin feel of “Speak Low” and weave through “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing”. Zuraitis is  reflective through “I Belong To yo” and Monheit-ish on the fun “How About  You”. Where’s the popcorn?
