In the series "The Blue Note Cover Series" a great CD has been released with songs by Carole King. The CD is called Tapestry. The songs are performed by producer / soprano saxophonist Bob Belden together with a number of renowned musicians who are under contract with the famous label Blue Note, such as trumpet player Tim Hagans, alto saxophonist Greg Osby and pianist Kevin Hays. Furthermore, this
… catchy, somewhat pop-like jazz CD also features: Bluey Maunick (from Incognito), guitarist John Hart and vibraphonist Stefon Harris. The jazz that can be heard on this CD is not entirely acoustic: synthesizer, electric piano, electric bass and electric guitar are used. For the true jazz lover there is certainly also a lot to enjoy, because this jazz does not degenerate into trendy fusion-like muzak jazz. Carole King's songs are perfect for covering in a jazz performance. Songs that were recorded, twelve in number, include: "You got a friend", "I feel the earth move", "It's too late", "Will you still love me tomorrow", "You make me feel like a natural woman "and of course the title track. In short, quite a few pop classics, which are absolutely done justice with these performances! (JW) _ quite a few pop classics, to which absolute justice is done with these performances!
