Nicki Parrott - Autumn Leaves (2012) [2015 SACD]

This is the third album in vocalist and bassist Nicki Parrott's four-part seasonal series. Autumn Leaves follows the spring-themed Sakura Sakura and Summertime. Similar to those two albums, an excellent group of musicians support Parrott on the album. John Di Martino is featured on piano and Nicki's sister Lisa shines on the baritone sax. Harry Allen on tenor saxophone is an added bonus. These well-known autumn themed songs are refined and cleverly arranged with determined sensibilities and performed with loving lyricism.
