Various Artists: Fahrt ins Blaue III-Dreamin’ In the Spirit of Jazz

A Whitman’s sampler of songs by the likes of e.s.t, Youn Sun Nah, Wofgang Haffner, Norah Jones, Michael Wollny, Nils Landgren and others are produced on this collection of pieces from the ACT label.  Jones is in a Cumberland Gap mood on the slow last dance of “ Tennessee Waltze” with you get more haunting vocals with piano on “Rosemary’s Baby” and breathy heartfelt lyrics with bass on “Hallelujah”. Bohemian piano and accordion make up “Aurore” with tender nylon strings well worn by the earnest vocalist on “Lento”. Soft Satie piano on “Esbjorn Svensson” and a muted Miles-ish trumpet for the piano trio on “Autumn Leaves” create pastoral moods. Songs for a rainy day.
