Laguna Road, the fourth recording from Haerts, a sonic pop duo that gels ambient jazz, blues, folk, and acoustic rock, emerge with a poignant compilation that resonates with audiences far and wide.  Founded by vocalist Nini Fabi and keyboardist/guitarist Ben Gebert, Haerts give listeners music that evokes deep contemplation and introspection about life choices, experiences met along the journey and the outcomes that unfold.  The ethereal textures and soothing atmospherics produce fantastical dreamscapes, moving with the fluid tranquility of a free-flowing stream.  Gebert's breezy guitar riffs piping through "Brighter Day" contour Fabi's meditative vocals with a tenderness that vibrates of chimerical warmth, as the dirge-like sonorous of his keys boost Fabi's soul-examining, introspective musings driving "Woman on the Line."  Fabi's vocals project a rawness and vulnerability reminiscent of Stevie Nicks, shaping the trajectory of the melodies and making an indelible impression on listeners.  There is a familiarity about Haerts music, being hypnotic, amicable and ruminating, while steered by a contemporary-lift in their thought-provoking dreamscapes. Haerts's hybrid mixture is a statement on where contemporary music has progressed and the penetrative effect it has.

Album Review: Becoming Marlene Dietrich from Myriam Phiro

Album:  Becoming Marlene Dietrich Artist:  Myriam Phiro Label:  Self-Released Website:  www.myriamphiro.com Smooth jazz vocalist Myriam Phiro introduces a new generation of music listeners to jazz standards that made Marlene Dietrich famous in her time from the 1920's to 1940's with Phiro's new release Becoming Marlene Dietrich .  Although Phiro immerses herself in melodies that had been Dietrich's trademark tunes, Phiro tailors the songs to her likeness.  Her illustrious mezzo-soprano register is higher on the vocal spectrum than Dietrich's contralto pitch, which stamps the tracks with her own unique nuances and inflections.  Her treatment of the verses is finessed with a distinctly soft, feminine touch and a delightfully, hypnotic resonance, setting her style apart from Dietrich's. Her vocals cradle the lyrics of "Quand L’Amour Meurt," written by Georges Crémieux and Octave Millandy, with a warmth that penetrates the listener's soul as Hyuna Park...

Album:  The Ways In Artist:  James Zollar Label:  Label: JZAZ Records Websites:  https://www.rsberkeley.com/james-zollar https://www.discogs.com/artist/954763-James-Zollar https://wyntonmarsalis.org/personnel/detail/james-zollar A straight-ahead jazz oeuvre, The Ways In from bandleader and trumpet player James Zollar resumes a quest where pioneers of the trumpet's sympathetic vibrations like Clifford Brown and Bill Coleman left off.  Zollar shows audiences the delightful, melodious tone of the trumpet, moving in harmony with an array of brass, woodwinds, and rhythm instruments. The robust wails of Zollar's trumpet strutting languidly along "Do Nothing 'till You Hear From Me" emotes an enduring personable trait, unwavering persistence in the face of being dejected.  The recording switches to a joyful atmosphere in "Swing Spring" with jangly beats from percussionist Chembo Corniel, interfacing with the buoyant ripples generated by Michael Rorby's trom...
