Youn Sun Nah with John Cowherd Elles

Creative duets from vocalist Youn Sun Nah and pianist Jon Cowherd make up pastel impressions on this recent release. Cowherd’s keyboards create an almost lullaby-like feel on the flexible “Feeling Good” and vulnerable “Killing Me Softly With His Soung”. Things are more bouncy on the electric piano on a bouncy  and wordless “Coisas Da Terra” with dark Spartan colors on “Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child”. On acoustic piano, Cowherd gives a vaudevillian tinny tone to Nah’s cries on “I’ve Seen That Face Before” and the chasson’d “La Foule”. Musical etchings.
