Somewhere

The Canadian vocalist Angela Verbrugge turns in a heartfelt body of work, where several musicians accompany her for 7 timeless, vocal jazz selections

Miles Black's warm keys and Verbrugge's smooth voice open the listen with the soft and stylish "I Had The Craziest Dream", and "Somewhere" follows with Erik Kalaidzis' deep pipes complementing the intimacy that makes great use of Jodi Proznick's cautious bass plucking.

Deeper into the listen, "Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)" benefits much from Anthony Pinciotti's frisky drums and Ray Gallon's cozy keys, while "For You, For Me, Forevermore" allows Verbrugge's poetic voice to radiate much beauty.

Arriving at the end, "If The Moon Turns Green" is populated by Cameron Brown's meticulous bass and Gallon's sophisticated keys that make for a cozy, romantic finish.

An often tender listen that's never short on melody and sincerity, Verbrugge also places an excellent original amid the timeless, creative interpretations.
