Cava Menzies\/Nick Phillips<\/strong>, Moment To Moment<\/a> (NPM) <\/p>\n

\"MenziesPhillips<\/a>Although Pianist Menzies and trumpeter Phillips make judicious embellishments in the ballads of this enchanting collection, their operating principle seems to be adoration of the melody. The tempos are slow, the harmonies rich, bassist Jeff Chambers and drummer Jaz Sawyer finely tuned to the leaders\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 wave length. The quartet illuminates standards including \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Peacocks,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d For All We Know,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Know What Love Is,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Speak Low\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and Kenny Barron\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Phantoms.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Phillips\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 C-minor musings on his composition \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and Menzies\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 touch and folkish harmonies on her \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Moon\u00e2\u20ac\u009d are highlights, far from the only ones.
