O’s Notes: LaTanya Hall is a polished vocalist who sings across many genres, focused on jazz and blues for her latest release, If Not Now, When…. Her primary accompaniment is a trio with Cyrus Chestnut (p), Gerald Cannon (b), and Mark McLean (d). Highlights are “Long As You’re Living” featuring guitarist Marvin Sewell, and “Lullaby Of The Leaves” featuring Eddie Henderson (t). We also enjoyed the blues-based numbers like “Tender As A Rose”, “Let’s Burn Down The Cornfields” with Sewell & Gary Bartz (a-sax), and “Day Dreaming” featuring Gregoire Maret (harmonica).
