Hannah Gill’s Spooky Jazz, Vol. 3 highlights the vocalist’s ability to breathe new life into a collection of early jazz and swing standards, supported by Garcia Terracciano on violin, Ricky Alexander on reeds, Danny Jonokuchi on trumpet and theremin, Gordon Webster on piano, Philip Ambuel on bass, Justin Poindexter on guitar, Ben Zweig on drums, and Sasha Papernik on accordion. The set draws from songs rooted in the 1920s and 1930s, reimagining them with a mix of playful atmosphere and modern flair. Gill’s warm delivery and keen sense of phrasing bring character to the material, while the band’s inventive arrangements keep the vintage repertoire fresh and engaging. “Gill proves herself as an artist who can bring character and nuance to every phrase she sings.”
