Title: Nice blend of flute and Hammond organ
Product review: Holly Hofmann has recorded frequently with Bill Cunliffe on piano, but this time he's on Hammond B3 organ for the entire album. The Hammond B3 isn't heard very much on jazz recordings anymore, but it creates a nice blend here and doesn't make the material sound dated.My favorites of the nine tracks on this album are the beautiful rendition of "My One and Only Love," the spirited "Further Adventures," and the feel-good groove of "Out of the Night." Hofmann's solo work is consistently good - if I had to pick a favorite improvisation from this collection it would be the lyrical lines she creates in "Out of the Night."This is a five-star choice for anyone who appreciates jazz flute. If you're inclined to get tired of listening to Hammond organ on every track, and long for Cunliffe to show off his considerable piano skills, you might give this album four stars. Either way, you'll like it a lot.
