Carmen Lundy - Modern Ancestors
To our ears, there's nothing like a record from Carmen Lundy
– one of the few jazz singers who can hold us completely rapt over the years,
and who keeps on coming up with wonderful albums like this one! Carmen's voice
has always been fantastic, but in recent years she's got an even more majestic
sense of her instrument – tuned here to some tunes that really continue the
more powerful lyrical approach she's used over the past decade or so – with an
agenda that's much larger than herself, and has righteous elements we never
would have found in her earlier music! Lundy's also become quite the
instrumentalist too – and also handles guitar, Fender Rhodes, and even some
larger orchestrations – in a lineup that also features piano from Julius
Rodriguez, bass from Curtis Lundy and Kenny Davis, and percussion from Mayra
Casales. Titles include "A Time For Peace", "Burden Down Burden
Down", "Jazz On TV", "Meant For Each Other",
"Still", and "Affair Brazil". ~ Dusty Groove
