Caught in concert at the crossroads of the jazz world in Whitehorse, Yukon, vocalist Fawn Fritzen teams with pianist David Restivo while mixing and matching drummers Tony Ferraro-Kelby MacNayr and bassists Doug Stephenson-John Lee along with guests voices for nine reflective and thoughtful originals. The overall feel is a lot like early Elton John albums, with Restivo’s touch quite similar to Sir Elton, while Fritzen’s tone and delivery range from a Disney-esque “Bittersweet Goodbye” to a Nashvilled “Stronger Than You Know”. Ferraro supplies a hip backbeat as Fritzen gets saucy on “Gaslight” and the team slinks to the snug “Make A Little Noise”. Her dynamics are a wisp on the #2 pencil thine “Dragonfly” while she gets into a Sunday Morning mood with Restivo in full fisted form on “Show Me Your Heart”, encouraging you as she waltzes through “With You Love”.
