Talk about a career change, jazz pianist Kerry Politzer takes a break from what she's known for to record "You Took Me In," a very nice collection of pop songs. Most impressive is the way she's able to incorporate her "jazziness" into the songs and not make it sound forced in any way, while still showing the versatility that most jazz musicians should have. "Love is in the Atmosphere" sounds as if it could serve as background music in a coffee house, as well as a swanky blues bar. "Wallflower," a beautiful ballad about failing to live up to your own expectations, sounds as if it's ready for a major motion picture soundtrack.

I hope Politzer continues her career in jazz music, but the contemporary music world needs her the most. This is a really refreshing album/ perfect for a lazy day.
