CD Review: Ellen Rowe/Wishing Well

Let me state forthwith that jazz pianist Ellen Rowe exemplifies the essence of elegance in her playing style and delivery. Plus, she certainly knows who to hire for sidemen to bring a viable CD project full circle!! Therefore, kudos go to her choice of Ingrid Jensen who brings new meaning to musical taste & expression in her flugel horn offerings within the combined group. The project contains many moments of lyricism and drama with wisps of nostalgic mood and character.  

Piano jazz has its tension as well, and Ellen is quite capable of painting her music with profound licks of lovely harmony and horn line oriented melody. I must affirm Ellen's rich and utterly beautiful, melodious, and quiet approach to her music. In all, her project is remarkable in its continuity & brought to our ears in an unobtrusive manner.
