Laura Caviani is one of the Twin Cities most in-demand pianists, and with good reason. Her musical acumen and versatility make her an easy choice whether the setting is small group, big band, full orchestra or solo. Going There (Caviani Music 2005) is the new CD from Caviani, and it finds her in the setting where her talent shines brightest. Backed by Bob Bowman on bass and Todd Strait on drums (both long-time members of Karrin Allyson's rhythm section), Laura Caviani leads this jazz trio through nine original compositions and one rare cover, displaying a soulful and sympathetic style that is distinctly her own. Whether it is the contemplative title track, the hard swinging shuffle of Watching the Game, the shimmering and meditative Paper Cranes, or the bluesy boogie woogie of the CD's sole vocal track Between the Lines, this trio presents a program that explores a wide range of musical personalities. |
'Jazz as a day-brightener? Heavens, will the powers that be allow it?!

'...very personal and soulful...
I love this CD and know you will too.'
~ Karrin Allyson (Concord Records)
'Ms Caviani has that sophisticated funk quality in her
soul… an interesting lyrically prescient calling... this lady will
captivate your mind set.
