Just got back from seeing Flogging Molly, Moneybrother, and The Drowning Men
Woke up this morning, sun was shining, had the windows and the doors off the jeep, popped in a Five Finger Death Punch/Disturbed/Breaking Benjamin/ Sevendust mix and blasted to school... that's one way to wake up in the morning!

Had to go refresh my memory of this album, since the last time I listened to it was the first time I had heard it, and that was while we were moving. I really like it a lot. I checked out a few YouTube videos and her website before I committed. I'm always looking for new jazz talent that doesn't suck, which, in my opinion, is rare these days.
This is her third album (I think), and I think it's very good. It's not "smooth jazz" - and her voice reminds me more of Diana Krall than, say, Lauren Hill or Erykah Badu. While she does play the upright bass, it's more of a compliment to the music than the feature. More like Coltrane, less like Mingus. No horns - or at least not many.
Overall, I really like this album. Been listening to it pretty much nonstop since I saw your post last night.

Big music fan here, not sure why it's taken me so long to chime in...
Charles Bradley- No time for dreamin' (most likely my favorite album of the year...and it's only March)
Aesop Rock- Labor Days
And hopefully, fingers crossed, the new Pharoah Monch album later
Angel of Mercy
Steel Eye Span, Fairport Convention, Incredible String Band and Sandy Denney. Reliving my English folk rock days. Waxing nostalgic, smoking a cigar and drinking scotch.
Doc.
Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?
