Reviews
Tony Taravella is a veteran jazz guitarist who has a melodic and thoughtful style. In A Sentimental Mood, which was recorded back in 2013, finds the guitarist holding his own with four impressive musicians from San Diego: pianist Mike Wofford, bassist Bob Magnusson, drummer Duncan Moore, and saxophonist Tripp Sprague.
The group performs a dozen familiar standards, mostly taken at relaxed tempos. Taravella is at his best on such numbers as “In A Sentimental Mood,” “Black Orpheus,” “Satin Doll,” and “Take The ‘A’ Train.” Other highlights include his beautiful unaccompanied versions of “Yesterday” and “Over the Rainbow.”
