4 Saxophonist Andrew Rathbun uses poetry as a focal point on Jade, although he stretches a single work-"Lost Sister" by Cathy Song-across its entire length, surrounding it with a similar, though harder swinging, orchestral warmth. There's velvety glow to the arrangements played by Rathbun, trumpeter Taylor Haskins, flutist Helen Richman and French-hornist Chris Komer. The rhythm section includes familiar Fresh Sound names Street and Schuller, along with pianist John Stetch. The expressive Brazilian singer Luciana Souza adds another pretty melodic layer. true 125 2007-06-07T14:05:44-04:00 12518 50 200109 true 0 20 2001-09-01T00:00:00-04:00
