Album Review: Kimba Griffith Septet - Each Time, The First Time

StarStarStar

"The vintage production also helps make this a classy affair harking back to simpler times."

Welcome to some old school jazz without any distractions. Kimba Griffith has a classic approach to her vocals and is pitch perfect the whole way with no blemishes.

The performers are all seasoned professionals which helps make the album sound authentic, with tracks like From This Moment On beautifully cajoled from the clever changes that jazz allows. The vintage production also helps make this a classy affair harking back to simpler times. Most of the songs are drawn from the 1950s and Griffith has brought something fresh to these versions. From the sultry A Good Man Is A Seldom Thing to the groove of Old Devil Moon, this is a well-constructed album that stays true to its aim.
