Ara- Tell me how you fare with Meditations. After the opening of the first track, which was highly alluring to me, it was like I hit a roadblock.
Gretchen Parlato is emerging as the most important jazz singer since Cassandra Wilson. Her vocal approach is so unique and her repertoire so eclectic that she stands to create a jazz vocal genre unto herself.Gretchen Parlato is emerging as the most important jazz singer since Cassandra Wilson.

Parlato's Wayne Shorter fixation that prompted her to include the saxophonist's "Juju/Footprints" medley on her first recording, and "ESP" on In A Dream, reprises "Juju" alone on The Lost and Found. The fondness that Parlato has for impressionistic music manifests itself in her version of Miles Davis/Bill Evans "Blue in Green," and a cover of Simply Red's "Holding Back The Years," rendered as diaphanous mist, Parlato's light voice perfect for the role.
