O’s Notes: This is a world jazz set featuring vocalist, composer and producer Basak Yavuz. There is a tropical/natural feel to the supporting vocals that keeps the energy level high. She give us a taste of rockin blues on “Set Me On Fire, Baby!” and on a minimalist exchange with her bassist on “Walkin’ Down the Bass Line”. The cover of “Bye Bye Blackbird” is rather unique fitting in with the rest of the session keeping in the spirit of“A Little Red Bug.
