Karrin Allyson<\/strong>, Some Of That Sunshine<\/a><\/em> (kasrecords)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ms. Allyson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s songwriting ability surfaced early in her career. In Some Of That Sunshine<\/em>, it is on full display; she wrote all 13 songs in the album. With her superb rhythm section, two star guest artists\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand on one R&B-ish track a spirited vocal group\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit sounds as if she had the time of her life recording them. The songs range from the sentimental (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Home,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Care\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) to wry humor that references the me-too movement (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Big Discount\u00e2\u20ac\u009d). Violinist Regina Carter sits in on three songs, pluckily matching Allyson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s inventive scatting on the title track. Tenor saxophonist Houston Person is at a peak of his bluesy expressiveness on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nobody Said Love Was Easy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Right Here Right Now\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just As Well.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Throughout, seasoned Allyson colleagues bassist Jeff Johnson, guitarist Rod Fleeman, pianist Miro Sprague and drummer Jerome Jennings are solid in support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
