Miranda Sage's latest album called "Both Sides Now" is in my estimation, her very best so far. All the songs are from The Great American Songbook and are given the respect they deserve. Some are maybe less familiar than others but Miranda treats them all with love, meaning and craft.
Do not expect histrionics and needless scatting here but a strong lyrical sense, great phrasing, and a lovely tone enveloped by finely crafted arrangements by one of the great Jazz masters, pianist/vibist Don Thompson. The rest of the band measures up to Thompson's standards but the kudos must ultimately go to Ms. Sage. Listen and enjoy!~Gavin Walker.
Personnel: Miranda Sage, Hans Verhoeven, Ken Lister, Pat Coleman, Don Thompson & Roy Styffe
