Rick Cutler: Women & Children

Pianist and composer Rick Cutler mixes tunes ranging from solo to intimate groups on this subdued and unassuming session. He mixes and matches with Lawrence Feldman/ts, Richard Boukas/g, David Katzenberg/b and Billy Mintz/dr throughout, going solo on casuals such as the reflective “Etude”, “Green”, homespun “Hymn #4” and folksy “Trance”.  Feldman’s flute is a gentle draft on “Paris After Midnight” and his tenor is soulful on the dark “The Blues Matters”. Vocalist charlotte Durkee teams with Cutler and Bill Hayes on the glass harmonica for a poetic “Time” and Boukas is upbeat on “Dee too” with some earnest trad feel added by violinist Sarah Caswell on the trad feeling title piece. Unassuming.
