Chamber jazz sounds are sleek as produced by the quartet of Michael Brothers/dr, Andy Nevala/p, and either
Jeff Carswell/b or Chris Kozak/b on a mix of covers and self-penned material. The trios mix and match between
acoustic and electric, as on the latter format there’s a dreamy take of Jobim’s “Passarim” with soft keyboards.
The team does a clever read of The Eagles’ “Life in the Fast Lane” with some electric piano and bass to create a
spacey shuffle, while Sting’s “Perfect Love…Gone Wrong” is a floating collection of cirrus clouds. Carswell does
some nice work on a flexible read of Jaco Pastorious’ “Dania” while creating droplets of dew with Nevala on the
acoustic “Find My Way to Love.” Brothers is subtle in his keeping the music within the corral, guiding with his cymbals
on Nevala’s “Ireland.” Impressive impressions.
