Interplay

"Miss Shah and Mr. Moutin can hold their own with "the very best of them". Their performance on Interplay is hypnotic - and powerfully so. It helps that Kavita Shah seems to have completely disengaged herself from her proverbial chrysalis and has adorned herself with fully-developed musical wings. On "You Go to My Head" she gives notice that she has become as huge and impossibly beautiful as melodic monarch butterfly, and on "Bliss" she is incredibly difficult to catch; on "Falling in Love with Love" she is equal to the challenging gauntlet thrown down by every vocalist's mentor, the great Sheila Jordan; in fact on that song, and on "Peace" Miss Shah may have set the bar high for the two of them and done it all by herself ... François Moutin (...) is a sensational bassist with a larger-than-life tone and an approach to his instrument that varies from town-crier to marquee-painter. His playing is voluptuous and so, appropriately, he creates a landscape that isbreathtakinglytactile. But he is also a brilliant accompanist who knows exactly when to step away from the spotlight and let it shine exclusively on his vocalist, and when to take that light and shine it upon himself".
