Kat Gang sings Dream Your Troubles Away. Holy Smoke! What a record! What a band! Terrific song choices. Terrific musicians. There's a real neatness to this jazz - a kind of Charlie's Gone By elegance. Richness in rhythm, voice and plunking. Hey! Pianist Renzi is a monster - and there are others on this album. Surely. The horns the strings all there full. Not one of these people mailed in their performance. The solos, the company, yes, flawless. Pros. And Kat Gang sings it. Ellington and Miles would have noticed. And smiled on this singer. And on her Solitude and Bye Bye, my two favorites here. Listen to Kat Gang. In a group of All-Stars, she is the star.
A big cast with Kat: Bucky Pizzarelli, Mike Renzi, Jay Leonhart, Joe Ascione, Harry Allen, Warren Vache, and John Allred. Five Stars!
13 tracks standards. Five Stars!
