Jazz in the Afternoon
This is Jessica William's third Candid album originally released in 2000, featuring her in the same trio context as her previous widely acclaimedHigher Standardsset (Candid #79736), but this time recorded 'live' at a college in Oregon. Dave Brubeck 'went to college' on Columbia Records some four decades ago, and likewise this album captures Jessica's trio in full flow, simply enjoying playing jazz to an appreciative audience.Straight No Chaserreally typifies what Jessica is all about - a 13 minute romp through this Monk classic - chorus after chorus exploring one idea after another.
