Cathy Segal-Garcia & Yoonseung Cho: Bohemian – Music Review

Cathy and Yoon Seung succeed in delivering a performance filled with light and beauty. So few deliver a melody whose meaning is so relative to it’s accompaniment. The pairing of these 2 brilliant artists is akin to watching a butterfly dance with the wind. The L.A. based duo play together in  fluid interpretations of songs so free of the clutter of licks and the dogma of  genre specific vocal styling’s.

Bohemia makes you feel almost as if you were the first to ride the subway uptown with it’s charming clickety clack impetus preparing you for the joy of a good long cry on Her Family a wondrous voyage that lifts you in circles like the warm air currents under a  California condors wings.

Yoon Seung Cho swings throughout Everydays Own Song without Cathy instructing it as in the quirky lyric that leads to a poignantly personal and smoking scat solo. She  phrases with complete abandon all throughout her range  with impeccable time and such feeling. The human vocal cords seem such a natural instrument when listening to Cathy.

Yoon Seung Cho delivers flawlessly soulful playing all through this set delivering a sound more akin to Chicago or New York musicians than what your accustomed to hearing out of L.A. a brilliant pairing to Cathys seemingly elastic voice seemingly to the opposite ends of her range if she has them. Cathys tessitura is seemingly endless. The scat melody on Embraceable Jew will ultimately make you spin this disc for weeks on end and sign up for Cathys Jazz Vocal workshops.The recording of this CD sounds as if two close friends got together for a set of grooving quirky tunes that they have honed from countless musical love ins. This CD will restore the faith of even the most jaded “Jazz is Dead” be bop loving jazz fan.
