Jo Lawry: Acrobats

Elastic and #2 pencil toned vocalist Jo Lawry joins with  Linda May Han Oh/b and Allison Miller/dr for a collection of interpretations of standards that actually could have been labeled as originals. Yes, the lyrics to “Taking A Chance On Love”, “Travelling  Light” and “If I Were A Bell” include the lyrics that we all know, but the melodies are so prismatic, elastic and stretched that you might as well be listening through a kaleidoscope. A duet on “You’re the Top” is brooding and soulful, and she flies through the air on ”Acrobats”. Can’t tell a player without a program.
