Callaway, Ann Hampton
Telarc, 2023, CD
Instrument: Guitar
Issue: 29.2
Jazz Ruler Type: Ballads, Blues
Performance: 4
Sound: 3
Score: 77
O’s Notes: “Fever”: A Peggy Lee Celebration starts with the emotional title, and it ramps up from there. Ted Rosenthal (p), Martin Wind (b), Bob Mann (g) and Tim Horner (d) provide excellent support. Callaway sings in tandem with special guest John Pizzarelli in “The Glory of Love” and on “I Love Being Here With You” where John also makes a strong statement with his guitar. We enjoyed “Black Coffee”, “Where Can I Go Without You” and “Johnny Guitar”.
