Sometimes the Magic ~ Jane Ira Bloom ~ Jazz - Blues ~ CD ~ Used VG

Editorial Reviews

Sometimes the Magic is soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom's adventure for jazz quartet. Joined by long time colleagues and master instrumentalists Mark Dresser on bass and Bobby Previte on drums along with exciting new comer Vincent Bourgeyx on piano, she navigates through nine new originals and two solo ballad performances. The music is both lyric and abstract and always expressive. Whether inspired by rolling Pacific rhythms or the action paintings of Jackson Pollock Bloom always surprises the ear with melodic invention. On this CD her sound has deepened and matured, You can hear it in the raw spare expression of her voice and the almost telepathic interplay with her musicians. Previte and Dresser are mature composer/ leaders in their own right and infuse the music with a strength and spontaneity that is rare. No sound is wasted. It's exciting new jazz played by great musicians at the height of their creativity.
