Three great reviews of Songs of Rebirth have been released in recent weeks.
On his “Jazz Da Gama” blog critic Raul Da Gama wrote that “No discerning listener, no one who demands the very best in that art should pass over this recording for Songs of Rebirth is a masterly work with a freshness that is utterly alluring.” Read the whole review here.
On Richard Kamins’ “StepTempest” blog, Kamins wrote “Over all, “Songs of Rebirth” is an impressive program not for the trio’s technical prowess but for how they present each song, each one a story, each one told with wit, with emotion and intelligence. Don’t shy away because there are “art songs”––embrace the musical adventure.” Read the whole review here.
In JazzTimes magazine, critic Andrew Gilbert writes that “The music is conversational in the best possible sense, as the trio interacts with unhurried self-confidence. The lyrics unspool as fully formed thoughts while the songs range widely and Harms makes it all sound utterly natural.” Read the whole review here (membership required).
Friendly reminder, you can get both the CD and a signed copy of a book of the music in my shop.
