Jazz music community with review and forums
In the jazz world today, original songs with lyrics are rare treats. When jazz was at the height of its popularity and impact, the role of the vocalist was an important one, both lyrically and melodically. The opening track of Francisco Pais’s newest album School of Enlightenment provides the listener with a contemporary interpretation of an essential element in modern jazz— original, beautiful music that reaches the listener immediately and profoundly, through voice. The song “Early Shift” combines the musical vision of its composer and the imagery it evoked within the poet’s mind upon hearing it. Ann Bruno’s beautiful words are accented profoundly by the harmonic foundations upon which the poem has been built, and the music truly soars, lifted by singer Gretchen Parlato’s enchanting voice. This is but one of nine wonderfully imaginative and extraordinarily fresh compositions found on the record. But not all of the music features voice.
