Jane Ira Bloom continues to be one of the most creative and best sounding soprano saxists around. She sounds only like herself, and plays the same, mixing inside swing and enough outside to keep you interested but not eyes glossed over. Here, she teams up again with the flexible Mark Helias/b and Bobby Previte/dr varying things up with solo, duo and trio renditions of originals. Her unaccompanied read of “Somewhere” is a textbook on how a soprano should sound; clear and sensitive. She also shows how to bear down, as the three flex some muscles on “Song Patrol” and “Singing the Triangle.” Her conversations with Helias are lovely pax de deux, and she gets playful with Previte like teasing friends. Intimate, lyrical and always buoyant, this is sonic proof of the Bible verse, “a chord of three strands is not easily broken.” Wonderful!
