Few vocalists have a natural sense of how to swing a song. When you get a hold of this album by Laurie Dapice, you’ll be amazed at what her dna can do. She mixes and matches moods and instrumentation ranging from a classic jazz piano trio to quartet and with various augmentations ranging from strings to woodwinds to African percussion. No matter the environs, she delivers a tribute to her godly grandmother through vibrant material such as “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To” and the bopping “Feeling Good.” Then, just when you think she’s a party gal, she sits you down on the couch and woos you with pianist Art Hirahara to a luscious beginning of “Midnight Sun.” Her delivery is like a closing relief pitcher that sometimes throws the smoke right by you as on “What Is This Thing Called Love?” and then she’ll throw a curve, or let the fastball sink away as on the African-tinged read of “Throw It All Away” and glowing “Social Call.” Her read of the spiritual “Motherless Child” with Aaron Graves/p, Elias Bailey/b and Yaron Israel/dr has her mixing various Black Continent percussions to create a rich mix of the church and field hollars. This lady has an infectious ability to make you want to become part of the song-a rare gift.
