O’s Notes: Pianist Elizabeth Woodbury Kasius plays a rich form of contemporary world jazz. She incorporates rich textures with strings, reeds and African percussion. The music mimics the sounds of nature on many tracks. There are African vocals and vocalese on “Adhoambo” followed by a mild calypso beat on “Bica” and on our favorite, “La Danse” laced with mysterious sounds. We also enjoyed the soothing finale “Aire” capping an enjoyable set.
