The world wise voice of Lisa Rich is teamed up with Marc Copland/p, Drew Gress/b and Dave Ballou/tp on a collection of standards on this latest release. Her voice feels leathered on the modal blues of “Long As You’re Living” and elliptical for “A Timeless Place”. Her sandied tone gives a rich intro to “Bye Bye Blackbird” and she feels confident with Gress on “Close Your Eyes”. Ballou adds muted moments on “Isotope” and dots and dashes to a clever read of “Jitterbug Waltz” As Pericles said, “Age needs no perfume”.
