The CD was
masterfully recorded once again by Brad Edwards of Woods Recording, who
attained the live sound by first taping the band live at the Emerson Cultural
Center in Bozeman, then capturing Eden’s vocals in his Billings studio. Unlike
many of today’s popular recordings that can take months, if not years, to
perfect, ”Feels Like Home” was put together in a total of three days last May.

And unlike most jazz
recordings, Eden isn’t afraid to multi-track her vocals if called for, such as
on ”Baby, I Love You” or Antonio Carlos Jobim’s ”A Felicidade,” a selection
that would have fit nicely on her ”Bossa Nova Session.” She loosely translated
the original Portuguese into English to great effect. Hall provides some nice
Brazilian guitar work as well. The other Jobim selection, ”Chega de Suadade,”
looks like the lyrics were reworked by the legendary John Hendricks.

Pianist Bob Nell
provides several excellent solos that are proof that his past awards were no
fluke. On songs such as ”Softly As In a Morning Sunrise” and ”Puppet Man,” he
really cuts loose. While Freemole and Edwards don’t have any solo spots, they
don’t really need to, providing vibrant and versatile performances throughout.

But as ”best” as this
band may be, it is Eden Atwood whose sexy, smoky voice carries the material
(e.g., ”Billie Holiday’s ”God Bless the Child”) and whose lovely image graces
the vintage packaging. In this day and age of multiple Grammy Awards going to
the unseasoned neo-jazz artist Norah Jones, a still young and attractive but
well-seasoned jazz vocalist such as Eden Atwood could go far toward winning
those awards if she was willing to play the music biz games. But right now, she
seems content to make the music that she personally enjoys, and her fans in
Montana are the real winners in that decision.
