Review by Xander Gerreman

Color And Light Jazz Sketches On Sondheim is a brilliant tribute to the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim. This album features some of the most renowned jazz musicians of our time, including Fred Hersch, Renee Rosnes, and Billy Childs, who have lent their expertise to create a unique and unforgettable listening experience.

The album comprises of ten tracks, each of which showcases the versatility and brilliance of Sondheim's music. From the upbeat and swinging "Comedy Tonight" to the hauntingly beautiful "Losing My Mind," the album takes the listener on a journey through the many facets of Sondheim's music.

The musicians on this album have done an exceptional job of reimagining Sondheim's music in a jazz context. The arrangements are fresh and innovative, yet they stay true to the original compositions. The result is a sound that is both contemporary and timeless.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Not While I'm Around," which features the soulful vocals of Becca Stevens. Her emotive delivery perfectly captures the tenderness and vulnerability of the song. Another highlight is "Send in the Clowns," which is given a new lease of life with a stunning piano solo by Hersch.
