"This is not so much a jazz album as it is an intimate pairing of like-minded musicians performing as they might do for a few friends in their living room. Heather Keizur is a new name to me but she demonstrates skill and frankly, a lot of caring in the nine selections heard here. Interestingly, four of them are in French and she handles the language with ease, and often with passion. I was especially enamored with her version of the Jacques Brel tune “Ne Me Quitte Pas,” also known as “If You Go Away.”
Her musical partner is longtime Portland favorite Steve Christofferson. He is well suited to his role here, having worked for decades in the same capacity with an-other PDX all-star, Nancy King. The duo brings idyllic communication to the session, bringing on almost recital like quality to the proceedings. The pianist adds some extra luster with occasional forays on Rhodes and melodica.
The entire album shines with great feeling and musicianship from both artists. Still, a guy has to have a couple of faves. Mine were the Johnny Mandel-Dave Frishberg beauty “You Are There,” and the Legrand-Bergman ballad “The Summer Knows.” Aside from the “French connection,” the remaining tunes include the pretty pop opus “Almost Blue;” a country sounding thing called “Always On My Mind;” and the Mancini-Mercer evergreen, “Moon River.” Keizur always delivers a rare sense of intimacy on these very warm renditions, and Christofferson is more a musical partner than simply an accompanist. Kudos to them both on a beautifully crafted performance." ~George Fendell, The Jazz Society of Oregon
