Misty toned vocalist Kristin Berardi produces songs about hope in a dark world with a subdued team of Ingrid Jensen/tp, Miro Sprague/p, Marty Jaffe/b and Jerome Jennings/dr on an album of originals. Troy Roberts adds sax to the dreamy “Bunker” with Sam Anning’s extra bass strumming deeply on the spacious “Slow Waltz’. Berardi’s voice is folksy with Sprague on the title tune, and clear on the post bopping ‘A Lie” while the team gets a bit vaudevillian with Jensen’s whimsical horn on “Can’t Be Late”. Pastels of sound.
