CHANTEUSE SWING…Kelley Johnson: Something Good, Anne  Phillips: Live At The Jazz Bakery, Michelle Lordi:  Break Up With The Sound, Katerina Brown: Mirror

Katerina Brown sings modern material and The Great Russian Songbook as she gets support from Adam Shulman/p, Gary Brown/b, Akira Tana/dr, Mads Tolling/vi, Ricardo Peixoto/g and guest horns. In her local language, her nasal tone is luminous on “The Gate” and strong as she holds her own with Angulo on “It’s Snowing.” She has a cabaret-style teaming with Kenny Washington on “They Can’t Take That Away From M” in a cozy duet and gets deep with Mike Olmos’ muted horn on “Hearing Ella Sing” as well as on the big beat of “Moanin.” Uptown.
