Rated in Music Connection magazine as 9 stars out of a possible 10, this Latin jazz CD has some recognizable, uplifting standards like Dindi, Fragile by Sting, and One Note Samba by Jobim. Also included are some funky tunes like What You Won't Do For Love, and Grover Washington's Take Me There, along with originals by Lori. This is a solo harp album of 12 songs with a Latin flair. "No matter the source, Lori turns all of the music into swinging and sometimes funky jazz. Her playing is very self-sufficient with often two independent lines and rhythm being heard, yet there was no overdubbing on this date. Listeners who think of the harp as only capable of producing pretty background music are in for a surprise, particularly when hearing the harder-swinging performances. -All Music Guide to Jazz |
