Audrey Foxx

Barbed Wire and Silk

(c) Robert Rodi - New City Music

The blues’ influence on jazz is of course both profound and widely acknowledged, but perhaps less so among vocalists than instrumentalists; jazz singers seem more often to owe a debt to cabaret and musical theater. Audrey Foxx has the blues in her DNA, as she amply displays on her debut EP. “Stone Cold Woman” is her five-song set backed by a quartet (Chris White on keys, Sean Jacobi on bass, Ryan Jacobi on drums, Josh Rzepka on trumpet) and the arrangements and performances are all cooly in keeping with the measured, sophisticated virtuosity we expect from such combos. Foxx sings with intelligence and restraint, modulating each phrase to keep in conversation with her collaborators—and to keep your ears perked to eavesdrop.
