Peggy Chew- vocals

Adrian Frey- piano

 

 

Chew and Frey combine traditional American jazz, Latin jazz, and traditional Chinese songs for a generally spirited and buoyant session. At times the improvising is too conventional and safe (this is more true of Frey than Chew- Frey’s playing occasionally shows evidence of supper club jazz) but there’s much more success here than dross. If the idea of these crosscurrents appeals to you, by all means give this a listen. When it clicks, it does so beautifully.
