O’s Notes: Beata Pater is a Polish vocalist who teamed with pianist Mark Little to record the color series. Red is the third recording in the series. The program is a combination of originals and standards that feature crisp instrumental solos on top of upbeat rhythms. We enjoyed Beata’s vocalese on the cover of Hancock’s “Butterfly”, the blues of “Bis” and the funky “Big Red”. Pater is not afraid to takes risks and we are rewarded with her creations of new expressive jazz.
