Linda Presgrave - Inspiration
- Linda Presgrave is an accomplished jazz musician, and her newest album, Inspiration, shows exactly that. With some songs written by herself and some by female greats such as Billie Holiday and Bertha Hope, Presgrave plays a record of tunes dedicated to women.
I don’t claim to be any sort of jazz connoisseur; in fact, I don’t really know jazz at all. But whereas I find a lot of jazz to be simply good background noise, some of Presgrave’s songs had me paying more attention. The fourth track, “Struttin’ in Manhattan,” has great drums that complement the piano and make it stand out. The sixth, Bertha Hope’s “You Know Who,” is delightfully mysterious and somewhat bluesy.
If you’re a jazz fan, you shouldn’t miss Presgrave. And if you’re not, give it a listen anyway. You might find yourself paying more attention to it than usual!
