Sunday Morning Put-On (CD)
Andrew Bird
Amoeba Review
Performing as the Andrew Bird Trio, with Alan Hampton on bass and Ted Poor on drums and vibraphone, the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Bird delivers all jazz covers on this new album. These are rich, evocative takes on standards like the delicate “I Fall In Love Too Easily” and the beautifully melancholy “I Cover the Waterfront.” “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home to” is another highlight with Bird’s smooth vocals adding to the appeal of a cleverly sparse arrangement.
