The 2006 album from the Elizabeth Shepherd Trio.

"It's not every groove-driven vocal jazz album where you'll find the piano-pounding singer cheekily beatboxing before she launches into a Clifford Brown tune (with her own original lyrics), but that's one of the subtle tricks that make Montreal transplant Elizabeth Shepherd's debut LP so exhilaratingly fresh "“ and entirely her own. This is hard-bopping jazz that commands you to move, buoyed by Shepherd's technical prowess and the laid-back, masterful beats of rhythm section Colin Kingsmore and Scott Kemp. It's wholly contemporary "“ Shepherd's ties to the Do Right hiphop scene give her dance-floor details an unself-conscious air "“ without resorting to the overly intellectual navel-gazing of, say, a Patricia Barber disc. That's not to say Shepherd isn't familiar with the classics (just check out the opening title track, a literal intro to the performer and her roots), but she makes them fully her own, as with her speedy scatted take on the Miles Davis/Jon Hendricks track Four, or her beautifully circular Herbie Hancock tribute, Melon. And goddamn, you can't help but adore a girl who's unafraid to cover the Price Is Right theme." - NOW
