"Making the simple complicated is commonplace;
Making the complicated simple,
awesomely simple, that's creativity."
- Charles Mingus

  "JAZZ ... It can be Rhapsody in Blue,
  It can be smooth moves...
  It can be Miles Davis
  feeling Kind of Blue;

  Whether it's the rough edge
  of John Scofield's guitar
  or the smooth percussion
  of Peter Erskine...

  It is what it is ...  JAZZ!"

There are too many good things to write about this CD - I'll be brief:  "Dal Vivo a Umbria Jazz" is an extraordinary live recording that moves the listener.   Denhert's superb vocals are accompanied by her supporting band of top-notch musicians - NY Unit.   "Dal Vivo a Umbria Jazz" brings KJ Denhert and band into your home for an intimate concert.  The spirit of live sessions recorded in 2007 during her jazz residency in Italy is now available for all to experience.

Footnote:  Due to the enthusiastic responses this CD has received during pre-release reviews, there are now plans to release "Dal Vivo a Umbria Jazz" on vinyl in the coming months.

On stage, the Dan Faehnle Quartet is solid entertainment.  Fanehnle's guitar prowess is supported by excellent musicians whose personalities and sense of timing are given generous space to shine during each selection.  Faehnle's guitar work implies a rather frantic approach to jazz as he maneuvers the fretboard with confidence, precision and ease.  However, Faehnle is equally skilled in the use of restraint when playing the more traditional jazz standards and ballads.

                            (3, 5)
We returned to Lexington in January and I was encouraged to repeat
the Carnegie Hall performance for our audiences in the Bluegrass state.  
This is a snapshot of that event.  We have tried to capture the energy
of our interactions in this recording.  The disc represents the trio
playing in the spirit of the moment -- a component of live performance.
