Jazz Ruler Type: Ballads, Blues
Performance: 3
Sound: 4
Score: 79
O’s Notes: These are gentle, contemporary, jazz tunes, with Elina’s voice serving as a soothing elixir to ease the pain. Matthieu Michel (flugelhorn), Rob Luft (g) and Fred Thomas (p, d) accentuate the mood while the absence of a drummer on most selections keeps it soft. Thomas energizes several tunes with percussion as on “Hape Derën”.
