,: learn them, he wants you to break away. HeÆs always :,
: anticipating, turning around the phrases. ItÆs so much fun.ö :
:' ':
,: Coleman plays characteristically compelling solos on the :,
: standards ôMy Foolish Heartö and ôSpeak Lowö and the leaderÆs :
:' own evocative ôCoup de Foudre.ö Disterheft connected with him ':

: pianist Harold Mabern, who ù with A-list New York drummer Joe :
:' Farnsworth ù partnered with her on the hard-swinging 2016, CD, ':
,: Blue Canvas, and several subsequent tours. Like Portinho, she :,
: remarks, Coleman ôloves to keep people on their toes,ö adding, :
:' ôHeÆll change harmony at the drop of a hat.ö ':
,: :,
: DisterheftÆs harmonic erudition, soulfulness and intense :
:' individualism come through when she sings the jazz standard ':
,: ôWhere or Whenö and the 60s pop hit ôOn Broadway.ö ôIt depicts :,

: Greyhound buses, which Disterheft frequently rode to visit New :
:' York during a long residence in Toronto, where she attended ':
,: Humber College and gigged with ù among other luminaries ù :,
: pianist David Virelles. ôIt puts the gutbucket in your playing,ö :
:' Disterheft says. You hear her blend down-home grit and highbrow ':
,: finesse on personalized interpretations of canonic pieces by :,
: bass heroes Oscar Pettiford (ôThe Pendulum at FalconÆs Lairö) :
:' and Sam Jones (ôDel Sasserö), and in her propulsive beat ':
,: articulation on two ôobscure, wonderful Brazilian tunesö that :,
: Portinho brought to her attention ù Moacir SantosÆ ôNanπö and :
:' the polyrhythmic ôSurfboard,ö a less-traveled Jobim number that ':
,: titles this superb, engaging album. :,
: :
:' ôIt sounds like youÆre trying to balance life on a surfboard,ö ':
,: Disterheft says of the latter. ôThe audience lights up as soon :,
: as you play it.ö :
