On this very fine mixed set of standards and originals,
vibraphonist Steve Shapiro and guitarist Pat Bergeson
lead a quartet that also includes bassist Doug
Weiss and drummer Jeff Williams (with guest appearances
by saxophonist Scott Kreitzer and the smolderingly
sexy singer Annie Sellick). There's
something pleasingly retro about this group's sound
-- there's nothing loungey about them, but something
will make you think of cocktails anyway.
Not sure how that works.
Recommended.
