The Jazzcat

Slide Show

When you think of love and music, you imagine a ballad that

sings your song perfectly. Lyrics that tell the story of your life as you love

or suffer the pain of it. It is truly the emotion that rotates this planet and

when someone can deliver a thought, feeling or scenario that describes how you

feel, it penetrates your exterior and pierces your soul.

Angela Carole Brown sounds good, looks good and synchronizes

with the rhythm that lies within. Standards have been sung since the beginning

of time. They act as a barometer that determines style, tone, pitch, creativity

or lack there of, personality and many other factors to base your impressions upon.

If the piece is an exact replica of the original, boring. If it is sung

pleasantly, that’s just okay. But, when you take life’s experiences, reality,

the creative power within yourself, wrap it all up and pull sound from your

lower diaphragm, the music soars.

Angela has a quality trio backing her which, of course,

always contributes to a magnificent sound. Ed Czach flowing with waltzing

melodies of love on piano, Don Kasper plucking full and rich tones on bass and

Craig Pilo providing just the right touch of timely percussive precision on the

drums.

Angela has two disc out which I have not heard yet but, I am

sure that they aim to please. From originals to standards, Burt Bacharach to

Miles, you are going to like what you hear!
