Five ladies from the renowned DIVA Jazz Orchestra take a night off to go quintet for a swinging date led by drummer, composer and arranger Sherrie Maricle. She teams up with fellow composes/arrangers Norika Ueda/b, Tomoko Ohno/p, Janelle Reichman/ts-cl and manager Jami Dauber/tp-fh and the team bops with delight on piecds like “T-Bone Special” and the crisp “The Time Being.” Reichman’s clarinet is warm and fluid on a coy and bluesy take of Duke Ellington’s “Just Squeeze Me” and drop dead gorgeous for her romantic excursion of “Unexpected” and the celestial “Circles.” Dauber’s horn serenades on the nostalgic “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” and is warm for “Uneven Pieces.” The team is both muscular and musical. Get these chicks on a Thelma and Louise tour!
