This Is Book’s Music

There’s jazz I love, and there’s jazz that’s so-so but tolerable. Then there’s stuff that gets on my nerves because in truth, it’s not to my liking. Case in point: Big Moon (Capricopia) bu Faith Gibson. The album begins with a nice song called “Scratch It”, where she sings about having an itch that needs to be scratched. It was nice and bubbly and I liked it.

For me though, that type of bubbly feeling, where it’s all about being on Broadway and wanting to do jazz hands, is not something I can tolerate for a full album. I love the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon but I don’t know if I’d want to hear that style of jazz for even a full hour.

If this was released as an instrumental, I would be happy, as the band are great. I am sure Gibson has a great voice for some, but just not for me.
