This project finds Dixon working through her own arrangements of classics with a string quartet and some notable guests, including bassist Kenny Davis and violinists Regina Carter and the late John Blake, Jr. The majority of the music they make is enthralling. "A Gozar Con Mi Combo" is an absolute joy to behold, "Moon River" sparkles with life, and "Libertango" charms the ears from the start. Then there's the intense build and forward thrust of Charles Mingus' "Haitian Fight Song," a number that's bolstered by Davis' bass, enlivened by Blake's violin, and driven by Dixon's son—guest drummer Orion Turre ; a soulful look at Ellington via "Freedom"; and an alluring "Besame Mucho" that shines a light on the core players on this project.
On occasion, the music seems to sag a bit, losing focus along the way ("Alone Together") or coming off as a bit aimless from the start ("It Never Entered My Mind"), but these types of issues are few. Dixon's talents are many and varied, and it's wonderful to see her putting herself first after so much time working in the background. With the release of her debut—Moving On (Self Produced, 2012)—and this follow-up, Dixon is finally getting the attention she deserves. ~ Dan Bilawsky
