Expressive vocalist Joanie Pallatto teams up with guest Fareed Haque on a variety of guitars and a mix/match collection of teammates on this wide ranging collection of originals. There are a couple of duets with pianist Bradley Parker-Sparrow, an intimate “The Melody of You” and an string pulsed “Sound”. Likewise, Haque plugs in a guitar for duets on an artsy “The Cuckoo Clock” and a quirky “Lafayette”. The rest of the tunes are small group sessions made for an Iberian nightclub, with a folksy “Surrender” a gentle “Apart” a lively “In The Middle of Life’ and a dramatic “A Shooting Star”. Folk forms.
