Editorial Review

Robin McKelle comes out swinging on her second disc
of big band jazz, Modern Antique. The bassist plucks
some fat, rich chords, the pianist skitters over the keys,
and McKelle herself confidently scats over the melody
while the horn section eggs her on. The mood is playfully
flirtatious, just this side of naughty. The entire
combo is having so much fun and so are you that
the tune is almost over before you realize it s an ingenious
re-arrangement of Steve Miller s seventies classic,
Abracadabra.
That opening gambit sets the tone for everything that
follows: The singer has created a stylistically ambitious
follow-up to her debut while still managing to evoke
and honor the forties big-band sound she explored on
the remarkable Introducing Robin McKelle. There are
more rhythm and blues touches, revealing McKelle s
torchy side, and she concludes the album with a self-penned ballad ( Remember ) that fits in
comfortably with the American Songbook gems that precede it. Modern Antique will impress
the ever-growing audience who ve already discovered McKelle -- via National Public Radio, her
glowing press notices, or good old word of mouth -- and it should attract the even wider audience
in the U.S. she clearly deserves.
