Sometimes one can make a guess as to “jazz hipness” by simply noting choices of tunes and their composers. In this stunning, well chosen collection, singer Maria Corsaro turns to heroes like Sam Jones, Bill Evans, Antonio Carlos Jobim, McCoy Tyner, Michel Legrand, Oliver Nelson, Gerry Mulligan, and Roger Kellaway, among others. Does that tell you something? I would think so! The titles provided to us by the above named artistic high-enders include “Chan's Song”, “You Taught My Heart To Sing”, “No More Blues”, “Stolen Moments”, “Walkin'”, and big kudos for Kellaway's “I Have The Feeling I've Been Here Before”. Beyond all that, Corsaro just puts it all down with no extraneous show-biz activity. Considering all the above information regarding choices, it's no surprise Maria Corsaro “gets it”. The essence of jazz singing is here. You'd be wise to check it out.
