"Anjani Thomas - Blue Alert"
by Tracy M. Rogers
Playback:stl

There are two ostensibly distinct, yet implausibly coexistent, sides to Anjani Thomas’ voice. The first is a lilting soprano quality reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald in her heyday; the second is a husky, textured alto undertone that evokes smoky jazz clubs and fine Kentucky bourbon. That she produces sleek, sublime jazz-pop seems perfectly natural. Thomas’ latest, Blue Alert, features dreamy, romantic piano fare that is smoldering and sensual at its best, a bit too languid at its worst. But it is this slow burn that makes the bulk of Blue Alert the ideal accompaniment for those sultry Southern summer nights.
