Carrie Wicks

Maybe Carrie Wicks

Reaching deep into a space of quiet joy and beauty, tinged with bit of melancholy, Seattle vocalist Carrie Wicks presents a new set of original songs that complement lyrically and melodically the three accompanying classics, Bob Dorough's "Small Day Tomorrow," Van Heusen and Burke's "It Could Happen To You," and Ellington's "Solitude." Featuring the same superb, simpatico trio as her prior two recordings, pianist Bill Anschell, Jeff Johnson on bass, and drummer Byron Vannoy provide a comfortable, warmly swinging environment for Wicks' lyrics to shine. "... a skilled vocalist, top-notch in her phrasing and intonation, but she also possesses an ineffable "something extra" that's both compelling and engaging... Carrie Wicks proves herself a very convincing storyteller." - All About Jazz
