Another new release comes by way of singer Trineice Robinson (co-prodducec by Don Braden). Wardell Gray, saxophonist from the past, is joined by Erroll Garner in Pasadena which is the first of a couple happening tracks separated only by time, the next is blistering trumpeter Jon Faddis.
Trineice Robinson (40) har bakgrunn fra kirka, fra klassisk musikk, fra soul, fra rhythm and blues og ikke minst fra jazz. Store deler av den amerikanske musikkarva med andre ord. når hun først har tatt seg tid og valgt å prioritere sin platedebut, så viser hun oss dette på et flott vis.
Trineice Robinson brings deep gospel roots to her work in jazz. Like most good singers, she’s covered a lot of ground throughout her career, from classical choral music, to jazz and various touring gigs. So it’s something of a surprise that her new album All Or Nothing – streaming at Spotify – is her debut as a bandleader.

“Come Sunday” is vocalist Trineice Robinson and piano great Cyrus Chestnut’s soul-stirring version of the Duke Ellington’s classic from All Or Nothing, Robinson’s long-awaited debut at the age of 40.
Robinson, who also goes by the name of Trineice Robinson-Martin, is a highly skilled singer well-versed in the art of jazz improvisation known as scat, and she’s equally adept at singing gospel/Christian, rhythm & blues, rock, country, and pop.
Amerikanske Trineice Robinson er det, man kan kalde en sen debutant. Hun udsender således sit debutalbum, All or Nothing, i en alder af 40 år. Til gengæld bilder jeg mig også ind, at man kan høre, at hun en jazzsangerinde med livserfaringer i bagagen. I hvert fald er der en tyngde og troværdighed i hendes formidling.
