Van Goor hits some stunning emotive moments in this rendition. Witten in 1950 and premiered in the theater musical revue, Dance Me a Song, itвЂ™s a highly theatrical number about taking refuge from the loss of a lover in the consumption of lilac wine. In keeping with the established themes вЂ“ nature and romance вЂ“ and introducing the secondary theme of this EP вЂ“ food вЂ“ вЂњLilac WineвЂќ by James Shelton is an ambitious selection for a debut. вЂњDonвЂ™t make a sound / ItвЂ™s so dark / Even Fido is afraid to bark / What a perfect chance to park / And thereвЂ™s no moon at allвЂќ The jazz standard also sees an upbeat interpretation reminiscent of versions by Ella Fitzgerald and Mel TormГ©. Solid execution of this and the second track, вЂњNo Moon at AllвЂќ, firmly establishes Van GoorвЂ™s right to the mic. вЂњWeeping willow tree, weep in sympathy / Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me.вЂќ The piano solo features recurrent descending scalular licks and trills, conjuring images of tumbling willow branches and dancing leaves. A slight uptick in tempo in addition to the character of Van GoorвЂ™s vocals transforms words about heartbreak to playful seduction. вЂњWillow Weep For MeвЂќ is a vibe for a first track as interpreted here. Van Goor and collaborators William Marshall Bennett (piano), Samuel Chase Harris (bass), Eliza Salem (drums), and Sami Blosser (saxophone), Josh Ford (production), Mark Byerly (production), pull from deep within the Great American Songbook and then a little further afield to give new and timeless life to some lesser known jazz classics.ДЄt the heart of the success of the EP is Van Goor and BennettвЂ™s lockstep, other-enhancing musical relationship, supported by a subtle and sensitive rhythm section.

Her debut EP, When The Shadows Fall, promises a fulfilling and thoughtful career. ThereвЂ™s a sensuality and smirk in her voice reminiscent of 1920s born singers such as Doris Day, Julie London, Anita OвЂ™Day, Blossom Dearie, and Carmen McRae. Miss Van GoorвЂ™s studious approach to vocal jazz has equipped her to command the best of the jazz greats whose tunes sheвЂ™s doubtless heard more times than most.
