Rebecca DuMaine’s rich tone colors and the various vocal techniques she uses on The Consequence of You are just two of the reasons you are sure to enjoy her latest offering with the Dave Miller Trio. As the third CD by Rebecca and the Dave Miller Trio, you as a listener can expect to hear her musical growth and the fluid, effortless collaboration between the musicians. Special guest guitarist Brad Buethe joins the trio which includes Rebecca’s father Dave Miller on piano, Mario Suraci on bass and Bill Belasco on drums.
The consummate professionalism of the father-daughter chemistry adds to the charm of this exemplary jazz vocal offering that features 12 songs selected from the Great American Songbook, Broadway musicals and the repertoire of Brazilian master Antonio Carlos Jobim. Rebecca Dumaine’s voice is crystal clear, intimate, swinging and proves to be the perfect complement to the trio’s sound.
Drummer Bill Belasco opens “Beautiful Love” with great brush strokes before Dumaine enters swinging. Each musician in the rhythm section maintains the harmonic foundation of the music with ease before Dave Miller enters to give an astounding piano solo that leads to Brad Buethe’s guitar finesse. This song swings hard and each performer anticipates the main beats of the meter through syncopation that propel the music forward with a strong rhythmic drive. This opener really compels the listener to keep listening because you realize this is a CD that is certain to get better!
