For Now: Elsewhere

Isabel Crespo uses her quirky yet poetic bohemian voice in a variety of indie settings on her collection of intuitive originals. Her core team of Skyler Hill/g, Gregory Santa Croce/p, Mike Luzecky/b and Connor Kent/dr is enriched by occasional horns and background voices. She can get coy and childlike with Croce on a piece such as “Caught in the Double Bind” while doing some up unison lines on “Into the Yellow Room.” She scats well with Luzecky on a grooving “Consider Rerouting” and rocks on “Are You Listenin,” while for the most part making you feel like you’re listening to poetic or subconscious musings set to free and whimsical themes. Intriguing and ingenue.
