Camille Thurman

August 30, 2018 By Noal Cohen Leave a Comment

The new CD from Camille Thurman, Waiting for the Sunrise, her fourth as leader, is a winner! Backed by a stellar ensemble including guitarist Jack Wilkins, bassist Cecil McBee, drummer Steve Williams and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, the multi-talented Thurman explores an intriguing range of songs as both vocalist and tenor saxophonist. She is clearly an up-and-coming talent, firmly rooted in the best jazz tradition, but quite willing to place her own stamp on material.

To this end, Thurman and her band transfer old wine into new bottles by providing a fresh spin on some chestnuts from the Great American Song Book: “Some of These Days” is infused with a 12/8 feel and features a fine tenor sax solo by the leader. “After You’ve Gone” employs the “Poinciana Beat” rhythmic pattern introduced by drummer Vernel Fournier (Amir Rushdan) on the 1958 album Ahmad Jamal Trio Trio at the Pershing. On this track we also hear Thurman’s facile scat singing. Stretched out over a bossa nova-like groove, “The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise” has an almost hypnotic ambience and features another emotionally evocative tenor sax solo as well as a great contribution from Wilkins.

Trumpeter Pelt is heard on the swinging “I Just Found Our About Love,” Milton Nascimento’s “Tarde,” “Easy to Love” and a cover of the 1983 Angela Bofill hit “I’m on Your Side.”

“The Nearness of You” is a duet with Wilkins featuring the leader on both vocal and tenor sax.

Acoustically, this album is described as Binaural+ with 3D aspects.

The album was released by Chesky Records on August 24, 2018 and is available from HDtracks, Amazon and iTunes. It is highly recommended.
