Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

CD:Kristin Korb

Kristin Korb, Why Can’t You Behave (Double K). Korb sings even better than on her previous CD and does it while playing the bass superbly. The Ray Brown protégé’s power and note choices would make the late master proud. Her treatment of Cole Porter’s title tune is appropriately wry and saucy, her minor key approach to “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” deep and reflective, with a penetratingly bluesy bass solo. Llew Matthews is Korb’s spare, harmonically resourceful pianist, Steve Barnes her discreet drummer. Trombonist Andy Martin and guitarist Larry Koonse shine as guest soloists.
