One of the classiest readers of standards, Andy James brings together an all star group that includes (but is not limited to) the A list of Jon Cowherd-John Beasley/key-p, Ronnie Foster/B3, Chico Pinheiro-Larry Koonse/g, John Patitucci/b, Alex Acuna/perc, Clarence Penn-Rudy Royston/dr, Terell Stafford/tp and Joel Frahm/ts in a vibrant mix and match session of ideas. She is luminous when simply supported by Cowherd on “Danny Boy” while getting urgent with Frahm on “All Or Nothing At All”. An Afro Cuban read of “Take Five” was a brilliant call, and she sounds worldwise on a street savvy “New York State of Mind”. A master of moods, she coos effervescence for “I Will Say Goodbye” and is wondrous and wide eyed for “Bali Hai”. Well told stories.
