With Eklektika, Carolyn Lee Jones brings together a program shaped by standards, personal connections, Brazilian and Latin-leaning textures, original material from her extended musical circle, and songs that connect classic vocal jazz to a broader sense of style and storytelling. The title plays on the word “eclectic,” but the album is not simply a varied collection. Jones gives the recording continuity through phrasing, restraint, and the sense that each selection has been personally chosen. Click here for liner notes.
