Many jazz pianists desire to record with strings at least one time in
their careers. Unfortunately, this frequently causes them to play a bit
too conservatively, while the strings overwhelm the release. Such is the
case on this CD by pianist Danilo Perez with arrangements by Claus
Ogerman (who previously worked on recording projects with Bill Evans and
Oscar Peterson, among others). The jazz group, which includes bassist
Christian McBride, drummer Lewis Nash, and percussionist Luis Quintero,
plays acceptably but they clearly are having to rein in too much in
deference to the strings. One wonders how Perez has top billing when
hearing "Lazy Afternoon," as the piece is nearly two-thirds over by the
time he and his group make their entrance, though vocalist Cassandra
Wilson shines in the dreamy setting. She also appears in "(All of a
Sudden) My Heart Sings," a neglected gem from decades ago; fortunately,
Perez isn't shunted aside by the strings in this chart. Ogerman's
originals, many of which are derived from themes by classical composers
Rachmaninov, Sibelius, Massenet, and others, frankly aren't memorable at
all. Skip this disappointing release. Ken Dryden
