Jazz Review

You may have seen the thread regarding a review section. This is a trial as suggested by member Elgordo to see how it might work in our current forums, since there currently is not a review section. If this works, perhaps Audiogon will add a dedicated review section.

Please review on album or CD per reply. Change the sub title to read: {the artist}, {album title}, {performance rating}, {sonic rating}.

Performance and sonic ratings on a 1 - 10 scale. In the body write a short review and at the end put in all album information (catalog number, label, etc.) so that other A-goners can easily find it for purchase.

I realize "Jazz review" is kind of crazy because it encompasses so much, but we have to start somewhere and hopefully this will get A-gon's attention to add a section with more refined categories, a rating system by which all can add their ratings for an individual album.

Jazz Focus Records sent me this CD following our telcon after I bought the two latest Kendra Shank discs from them (both superb, by the way).
Jessica Williams has enormous chops, combining the lyricism and propulsion of Bill Evans with the great technique of Jarrett. A truly musical outing, with a big, warm credible piano-image, if a bit too wide. I'm told her later discs (Monk tunes, etc.) are equally good, but I haven't heard them. Check her out. I have a Steinway B sitting behind my Parsifal Encores, and this is one of the times where I'd swear MY piano's being played! Ernie.
