CD ReviewsExtremely High Quality Jazz That's Also Fun Earscape | NYC | 07/01/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Wow! The players in Waverly Seven are all NYC "downtown" bandleaders. The music they play on their own CDs ranges from post-bop modern jazz (Joel Frahm) to "fourth stream" music (Manuel Valera) to eclectic big band and Brazilian music (Anat Cohen) to electronic African inspired jazz (Avishai Cohen). Yet here they are, together, playing songs recorded by Bobby Darin...and obviously lovin' it. There are gorgeous rare ballads (I Guess I'm Good For Nothing But The Blues - with Anat Cohen on Bass Clarinet), infrequently heard jumpin' tunes with breathtaking solos (Artificial Flowers)and respectful reinventions of modern jazz classics (like Nat Adderly's Work Song). From "Splish Splash" to "Skylark"...every track on this CD is a winner. Highly recommended."
