It's hard to believe that a full decade has passed since
veteran New York vocalist Carol Fredette served up
Everything I Need, a scrumptuous platter of Bob Doroguh and
Dave Frishberg tunes. For this long overdue return to the
studio, she harkens back to her debut recording, wisely
re-teaming with producer, arranger and bassist David Finck,
whose tasteful musicality so greatly enhanced Fredette's
Love Dance in 1984. Well into the fourth decade of a career
that has unfairly flown somewhat under the radar, Fredette
sounds as fresh and pure as ever, tempering a girlish
vitality vaguely reminiscent of Blosson Dearie with a
soupçon of Frishberg-esque mordancy and
mischievousness as she shimmies through 15 selections from
the Great American and classic Brazilian songbooks....

Soundbrush recording artist Carol Fredette presented her new
album "Everything in TIme" at the prestigious NYC
jazz club Iridium. Introduced by label President Roger
Davidson[roger-davidson-biography/], the singer took the
stage by storm and performed with an astounding sextet
through all the songs in her new Soundbrush CD. Fredette has
an exquisite sense of phrasing, molding the melody and words
with exquisite musicality. The capacity crowd in the first
set roared after every interpretation. After the set, Jim
Eigo looked around the room and said "You know you're
doing something right when you have the likes of Bob
Dorough, Sheila Jordan, Anne Phillips, Daryl Sherman, Steve
Kuhn and Agent 99 Barbara Feldon in the house.!"...

challenging music ever written for the flute, and much of it
comes from his native Venezuela. Its wealth of local rhythms
- some of them head-spinningly complex caught his fancy, and
he's devoted years to developing the skills needed to play
them on flute....

This CD is an exquisitely composed series of 18 Tangos and
Milongas (fast tangos), some with searing, soulful
qualities, some with buoyant liveliness, and some with
pronounced, danceable melodies. In fact, Pasión Por
La Vida would be the perfect accompaniment to the tango
teacher, as Raúl Jaurena is so renowned and revered
in the Tango community, often performing live at the
“milongas” (dance socials). Davidson has
captured the essence of the Tango, that sense of yearning,
of memory, of the shared 3-4 minutes for the tango partners,
as one leads and one follows, losing themselves to the
music. Davidson creates the concept, and Jaurena makes it
come alive. Together these performers are like tango
partners, Davidson leading the theme and Jaurena enhancing
and embellishing it.
All tracks composed by Roger Davidson. ...
