Singer April Hall sings Jazz vocal pieces by pianist
Pamela Hines, who plays piano on the new CD album titled Hall Sings Hines
(2005) has some good music in the genre to offer, particularly if you like the
traditional approach in composition and vocal phrasing. The tracks even have traditional-sounding
titles like:
1) I Go For
You
2) I-95
3) Just Us
4) 4 Blues
5) Encinitas
6) To The
Street
7) A Stone
8) We Could
Have The Same
9) Traces
It is also a well recorded set, presented here in the CD
standard 16bit/44.1kHz PCM CD 2.0 Stereo sound with clarity for the most part,
though a bit of it sounds restrained in the mid-range. Otherwise, the Spice Rack Records release is
one of the better of its kind we have heard lately. Go to www.AprilHill.com or
