Joe Jewell Quartet – Every Note Counts (CD)
Sound:
B Music: B
One of
the better Jazz albums I have heard lately is Joe Jewell Quartet’s Every Note Counts (2006) offering 11
songs, some of which are interesting revisions of some classics. Highlights include a slowed take on the Bobby
Hebb hit Sunny from back in 1966, I’ve Grown Accustomed To Your Face from
the musical My Fair Lady and
Thelonious Monk’s In Walked Bird.
They are
good and the mood, consistency and attitude extends to all the tracks. Fortunately, they play back nicely too. The PCM 2.0 16bit/44.1kHz Stereo is clean and
clear like you would expect a Jazz CD to be, produced by Jewell & Jim
Linahon, who engineered, mixed and mastered it.
