Just The Two Of Us
Timeless Grooves, 2021
8/10
A precursor to her new album also released this year, Rebecca Angel puts a fresh coat of paint on this Grammy winning classic, where her sublime vocals and soulful, jazz friendly vision certainly points towards our survival instincts during these pandemic ridden times.
The tune starts with playful drumming from Gene Lake as Angel’s smooth, expressive singing enters alongside Ira Siegel’s warm guitar playing and Reggie Washington’s strategic bass, which are complemented by Ada Rovatti’s soulful sax.
Further into the tune, Jason Miles makes an impression with his keyboard prowess and Maya Azucena’s light backing vocals won’t go unnoticed as Angel delivers inviting vocal scatting.
Angel’s debut album, Love Life Choices, will feature this song plus 9 more, and it will be sure to spotlight the young songstresses originals mixed with interpretations, as she welcomes a large cast of musicians to the affair.
Travels well with: Rebecca Hennessy- All The Little Things You Do; Malin Pettersen- Wildhorse
