This morning, I received a new disc from Concord called "jazz vocal sampler". It included the tune "Blackbird" from the new Herb & Lani CD "I feel you".
They really did a nice interpretation of this Lennon & McCartney tune. It's very discordant , with a pulsating march type rhythm behind most of the cut. Also, Herb revisited the long delay effect on his trumpet, reminiscent of his "Beyond" album. Herb sounds great in his improv solo. Lani is fabulous with her strong and dramatic vocals. This is a version of "Blackbird" unlike anything I've ever heard.
What a nice sample of the new CD. I guess when you perform just for the love and passion of music, you really can take chances. Bravo!
