Famous Blue is a marvelous example of the way jazz can be stretched to encompass almost any musical style. The attraction of Famous Blue is that it bends and warps any preconceptions that the listener might have, and, in real time, resists being labeled. (Amy Cervini's) voice is quite malleable and she seemingly can sing almost anything, matching tonal qualities to her delivery. (Ernesto) Cervini, whose dynamic drum playing drove his own album, Here (Self published, 2006), provides the energy in many ways, adding subtle sophistication to the music.
