About Tori Gee & The Jazz Expressions | Tori Gee is a jazz vocalist in the style of Jimmy Scott. At LoFish Studios in New York City's once well known 'Tin Pan Alley,'Tori Gee produced her first CD, "Getting Sentimental" with Jimmy Scott's band, The Jazz Expressions; Michael Kanan, piano; Dwayne 'Cook' Broadnax, drums; TK Blue, saxophone and flute; and Hilliard Greene, bass. "The mid-tempo Brazilian-based groove on "All The Way" provides a nice contrast in feel to the earlier material that TK Blue really thrives in this setting, tearing up and down his saxophone with glee. Hilliard Greene's walking line holds everything in place. On "I'll Be Around," Gee's performance here is haunting." January 2009 Jazz Improv, New York |
