ALBUM REVIEW

|

|
|
Skarlet delivers flawless New Orleans and big band
jazz as well as haunting confessionals with The Powder Room Stories
|
|
There are still quite a few jazz hounds—uncompromising musical

dumbed-down times. But these jazz cats take themselves too
seriously, mostly Miles Davis-worshipping bebop purists who play
only for the musical intelligentsia—which is themselves.

|

|
|

disappearing. Today’s generation no longer care for the musical
prejudice. Instead they are innovating by fusing diverse sounds to
create “mashups.”

wonder when the law of averages will finally catch up to him.
