The Exciting Sounds Of The Nadine Jansen Trio

Janton Records

From the back cover: Nadine Janson is Sacramento-born (from California, that is) classically trained there and at San Jose State College. This versatile star plays piano, trumpet and flugelhorn. Sometimes two at a time. In this album you'll hear her at the piano with the left hand and on the trumpet with the right in "Exodus." You hear her play piano and flugelhorn in "Secret Love," "Poor Butterfly," and "Misty." And she sings, too! Warmly, richly, in a voice and soul, she gives new meaning to "S'Wonderful," "I'm A Fool To Want You," "Gloomy Sunday," "Sonny Boy" and "I Only Have Eyes For You."

Frank (F#) Sharp is a Phoenician (from Phoenix, Arizona, that is) who plays the richest trombone you've ever heard. He also plays bass (but not at the same time) for the trio. The great range of his technique, the variety of expression in his trombone tone must be heard to be believed. Listen especially to "Misty."

Al Lincoln, another Phoenician, is on drums. He's played with many jazz groups, and proved himself outstanding and exciting as a show drummer. Amazingly, he's self-taught. Perhaps that explains his contribution to the fresh new touch in everything the trio plays. Al's technique and skill are featured here in "Exodus."
