Jeri Brown - Zaius (1998)

Brown uses her voice with a rare sensitivity to jazz phrasing; by turns sweet and sassy, it is always focused and pure in tone. A little torch, a little bop: a lot to like. The album also features the talents of Don Braden on saxophone. ~ Tim Sheridan

Personnel: Jeri Brown, Leon Thomas (vocals); Don Braden, David Murray (tenor saxophone); John Hicks (piano); Curtis Lundy, Avery Sharpe (bass); Sangoma Everett (drums).
