O’s Notes: Denine sings and scats on eight jazz classics and four originals. It’s not the usual approach however as she collaborates with pianist Frank Martin for some very unique arrangements. These straight-ahead cuts have a modern, contemporary groove courtesy of band members Russell Ferrante (p), Will Kennedy (d) and Joel Smith (b). The mood is tranquil and the feeling is right.
