Title: Creatively Clever
Review: Interesting and creatively clever idea with equally clever play. Mellow and enjoyable from beginning to end, with Byron excelling throughout. This is an intriguing lineup of music and song which at first might seem a bit odd or disjointed, but it ain't. It actually sounds thematic, like an aural drama of some sort..., with one possible exception. The song "Reach Out I'll Be There" dosen't quite seem to fit the motif. It's well played, but seems misplaced within this lineup (so program it out). Patricia O'Callaghan stands out on "Glitter And Be Gay", percussionist Paulo Braga on "Soldier In the Rain", and Cassandra Wilson on "The Ladies Who Lunch". Money well spent.
