Jazz Times review – Carol Fredette “Everything in Time”
It’s hard to believe that a full decade has passed since veteran New York vocalist Carol Fredette served up Everything I Need, a scrumptuous platter of Bob Doroguh and Dave Frishberg tunes. For this long overdue return to the studio, she harkens back to her debut recording, wisely re-teaming with producer, arranger and bassist David Finck, whose tasteful musicality so greatly enhanced Fredette’s Love Dance in 1984. Well into the fourth decade of a career that has unfairly flown somewhat under the radar, Fredette sounds as fresh and pure as ever, tempering a girlish vitality vaguely reminiscent of Blosson Dearie with a soupçon of Frishberg-esque mordancy and mischievousness as she shimmies through 15 selections from the Great American and classic Brazilian songbooks.
