Karen Blixt: Mad Hope

Currently listening to the recent Karen Blixt album, Mad Hope. This is a very nice blending of traditional jazz concepts with a more modern sound and hipper arrangements.

Highlights include original lyrics for the often-overlooked Paul Desmond tune “Take Ten”, performed as duet here… “7th Heaven”, a surprisingly-flowing adventure in 7/4 time… “Faith Baby Faith” with only vocal, drums, and bass (the latter played by Abraham Laboriel).
