Next Year’s Song Review

All About Jazz
To hear CeCe Gable sing is to encounter pure truth. A late bloomer whose early passion for dance was eventually eclipsed by the lure of jazz, she's spent the past three decades honing her craft and establishing herself as a sincere storyteller adept at honoring a lyric and elevating every number she inhabits. Since first taking to the studio at the dawn of the new millennium, CeCe has gone on to develop a body of work that speaks volumes about integrity and openness. Bassist and producer Harvie S, highlighting that fact, sums her up with complimentary concision: "She's an honest singer."

The jazz vocalist CeCe Gable returns with 11 standards where her intimate and enchanting voice is accompanied by Alan Broadbent (piano), Harvie S (bass), Roni Ben-Hur (guitar) and Matt Wilson (drums).
The title track starts the listen with bright keys, warm drums and Gable’s very pretty vocals guiding the timeless jazz climate, and “No Moon At All” follows with a stylish delivery of cozy guitar and frisky drums to complement the agile singing.

With her bright tone and brilliant technique, CeCe Gable is an ideal interpreter of florid romantic standards, but she is equally adept at writing some of her own as “Next Year’s Song”, the piece on this album, suggests.
