Guitarist Jocelyn Gould opens her debut album, Elegant Wanderer, with a cooker: Cole Porter's "It's All Right With Me." The tune is artfully arranged for quartet—piano and guitar with bass and drums—and Gould displays some serious chops - She has soaked up the influences of Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell and Joe Pass, and she wears that collective mainstream, swinging attitude on her sleeve, not only stylistically, but also in her sense of the joy of creation.
Gould's original tune "Kindling" swings easy and smooth, with an unwavering elegance and good taste and an embrace of the jazz guitar tradition - The album includes seven of her own well-crafted tunes, along with three nicely chosen covers—Duke Ellington's "All Too Soon" and Richard Rodgers' "It Might As Well be Spring" joining the Cole Porter opener to bring in just the right amount of familiarity to the proceedings.
In addition to her quartet renderings, Gould goes solo on "It Might As Well Be Spring," for a lovely and soulful acoustic interlude leading into her original, "Change In Plans," expanding her line-up with the inclusion of trumpeter Anthony Stanco and trombonist Michael Dease, bringing something of an Art Blakey vibe to the affair.
"In A Daydream," with trombonist Michael Dease sitting in again, lets Gould shine a light on her ballad playing, which is polished and patient, relaxed in a no wasted notes mode, while "Gamechanger" proves itself a beautiful rumination on wee hours blues.
Closing with Ellington's "All Too Soon," Gould opens the tune with an eloquent solo intro before the band whispers in behind her, and Stanco adds a mid-sixties Blue Note Records atmosphere on trumpet, to wrap up a fine debut from a rising star guitarist -

La guitarrista Jocelyn Gould abre su álbum debut, Elegant Wanderer, con a cooker: "It's All Right With Me" de Cole Porter."La melodía está ingeniosamente arreglada para cuarteto (piano y guitarra con bajo y batería—y Gould muestra algunas habilidades serias - Ha absorbido las influencias de Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell y Joe Pass, y luce esa actitud colectiva dominante y oscilante en la manga, no solo estilísticamente, sino también en su sentido de la alegría de la creación.
La melodía original de Gould, "Kindling", se balancea fácil y suavemente, con una elegancia y buen gusto inquebrantables y un abrazo a la tradición de la guitarra de jazz - El álbum incluye siete de sus propias melodías bien elaboradas, junto con tres versiones muy bien elegidas: "All Too Soon" de Duke Ellington y "It Might As Well be Spring" de Richard Rodgers que se unen al abridor Cole Porter para brindar la cantidad justa de familiaridad a los procedimientos.
Además de sus interpretaciones de cuarteto, Gould participa en solitario en "It Might As Well Be Spring", para un encantador y conmovedor interludio acústico que conduce a su original "Change In Plans", expandiendo su formación con la inclusión del trompetista Anthony Stanco y el trombonista Michael Dease, aportando una especie de vibra artística de Blakey al asunto.
"In A Daydream", con el trombonista Michael Dease nuevamente sentado, le permite a Gould iluminar su interpretación de baladas, que es pulida y paciente, relajada en un modo sin desperdicio de notas, mientras que "Gamechanger" demuestra ser una hermosa rumiación en el blues de madrugada.
Cerrando con "All Too Soon" de Ellington, Gould abre la melodía con una elocuente introducción en solitario antes de que la banda susurre detrás de ella, y Stanco agrega una atmósfera de Blue Note Records de mediados de los sesenta a la trompeta, para concluir un excelente debut de un guitarrista estrella en ascenso. -
