Everybody is riding along in style when guitarist Jocelyn
Gould unpacks her axe to launch the opening salvo on her
aptly entitled debut release “Elegant Traveler.” Indeed,
Gould gracefully pushes her melodic message to the forefront
with skillful leadership, while she ably demonstrates a
total command of her own instrument along with a delightful
depth of talent as a composer and arranger. Also featured
in supporting berths on the album are several top
frontline musicians, including trombonist Michael Dease,
saxophonist Brandon Wright, and trumpeter Anthony Stanco.
Everyone is supported throughout the journey by the
capable rhythm section of pianist Addison Frei, bassist
George DeLancey, and drummer Quincy Davis. With an
amazing combination of talents, some brilliant performances,
and an evocative program of music, critical listeners
should agree that “Elegant Traveler” successfully proclaims
Jocelyn Gould as an important new musician to
keep eyes and ears on for years to come.
