Amazon.com From the perspective of musical genres, Lullaby Baxter is neither fish nor fowl. Her backing band on Capable Egg is the San Francisco-area Oranj Symphonette, an outfit that boasts a couple of Tom Waits's former collaborators. But Capable Egg doesn't sound like Oranj's usual fare--no Mancini or Morricone. Instead, Baxter creates a vocal-fronted mix that integrates samba, floating acoustic jazz, and lilting pop. There are elements of Waits's world-view and musical approach ("Rooster in Love") and a subtly pervasive mood that recalls Patricia Barber in spots and then more vaguely the genre-bending flange in late-1990s jazz that extends (in spirit) from Medeski Martin & Wood to the Jazz Mandolin Project. Baxter handles lyrics with a delicacy that disarms and a frankness that charms. She's instantly engaging, and the lyrical content is strangely constructed and wonderfully imaginative. --Andrew Bartlett Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMusic for the kid in you 03/29/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "What an amazing disc! did you ever listen to something that made you feel like you were playing, learning, falling in love and getting scolded all at the same time? Lullabt Baxter Trio's Capable Egg does this and more. The Music is a tight quirky performance by Tom Wait's old band (Oranje Symphonette) that grooves easily from carnivalesque to bosa to country at the flick of Ms. Baxter's caprice. Her Lyrics are deep and mysterious (thanks to ?Lutwidge Sedwick? Who seems to write all the songs). Oh and the most amazing thing about this band is Ms. Baxters deep soulful sultry all-knowing voice. This will melt your heart!" Magical Musings [vivian dean] | manhattan | 03/30/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "If one is going to get swooned by anyone, it certainly should be by this emerging delight. Her style is fresh and her lyrics have depth.Lullaby has what many strive for. The ability to fill her amazing voice with sweet tenderness and love, giving the listener more than one needs to fill the body and vibrate the soul. She knows what she has to offer. One wonders, do you? [vivian dean]" And Now For Something Really Original [vivian dean] | 04/20/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Anyone who listens to Capable Egg even for the first time, has got to be struck by the mellifluous voice of Lullaby Baxter, the wonderfully clever arrangements of the Oranj Symphonette who back her up and, the lovely, silly -so imanginative lyrics of Lutwidge Sedgwick. And listen again; every time is a new experience of discovering the unique subtleties of this album, a truly original Coney Island of the mind and...spirit."
