This is a jazz trio album where he is joined by Chris Lightcap on bass and Angelica Sanchez on piano. “Box Step” has a gently informal melody, reminiscent of the folksy themes Keith Jarrett improvised on his Impulse recordings....

Norah Jones The Fall Blue Note The voice of sultry chanteuse Norah Jones is in top form on her new album. Producer Jacquire King does a wonderful job at the dials, leavening the album's strong guitar flavor with sophisticated accents. The musicianship is strong, with avant-garde jazz guitarist Marc Ribot coming in for special mention for his atmospheric, almost ambient playing, which...

In place of jazzily tinged pop or poppy folk-jazz we get a brittle, structured, ever so slightly gothic hush-rock describing the quotidian anxieties and romances of Norah’s inner world. There’s an awful lot of it and it does go on a bit, with few variations in texture, weight and tempo, but the essential quality of the thing is hard to argue with.
