Album Description
Eileen Howard, a popular Columbus, Ohio actor and singer, released her first CD of jazz standards, recorded with the Erik Augis Trio, solidifying her 15-year reputation as an outstanding singer.

Howard recorded nine jazz standards on her CD "All Kinds of Weather" with the Erik Augis Trio, with Erik Augis on keys, Derek DiCenzo on bass and Matt Wagner on drums. Arrangements by Augis and Howard give the songs a fresh and unique feel.

Howard’s sultry, smooth jazz vocals shine on laid-back ballads like 'Summer Me, Winter Me' and positively glow on the tune 'How Deep is the Ocean', arranged with deceptive simplicity for solo piano and voice. She swings with upbeat fun on 'Orange Colored Sky' and 'Come Rain or Come Shine'. Her passionate renditions of ''Round Midnight', 'It’s Easy to Remember', and 'When the Sun Comes Out' evoke the memory of lost love. In short, an outstanding first release.

The best weather!.......2006-08-30

With Red Garland it doesn't matter if it's raining outside, the weather is always good. At least if it's raining it's better. You can stay at home listening to Red's albums which are always exceptional. This is one of the best. Red here swings with Paul Chambers and Arthur Taylor, and what can I say, they play the perfect jazz trio music. Do you know what does it mean perfection? Each tune is mirably chosen and interpreted by Red's trio as what it really is. I mean, Red does not only play over the chord changes, he plays the tune even if he is improvising he tells the story of the tune. And believe me, it makes a world of difference! Here this fantastic ability that not every jazz player even among the big guys possess, finds its perfect expression being this one a collection about weather conditions. And you have to hear for yourself the stories Red's trio is able to tell you. Stories about the rain, about summer and winter, stories of spring and autumn, stories of storms. The idea of playing weather songs is a winner in the hands of musicians like these because they literally paint the scenaries of those weathers .... This album is simply another exceptional work of art from one of the most perfect pianist in the history of Jazz music. Red Garland.

one of the best piano albums around.......2001-09-03

red garland came to notoriety as the pianist for miles davis' first great quintet of the 50s featuring john coltrane. some critics of the day dismissed mr. garland as a glorified lounge pianist, but this album destroys such naysaying. mr. garland could flat out swing. he may not have pushed the envelope like thelonious monk or bud powell, but he had an encyclopedic knowledge of the american songbook and could find the groove in most any tune-- check out "winter wonderland." here he takes the conceit of working through a seasonal songbook and seems to have a lot of fun doing so.you will, too, as you discover one of the great overlooked talents of the jazz piano.

Swingin' Through The Seasons With Red Garland's Trio.......2000-08-23

One of the great jazz pianists. Especially the late 50's early 60's recordings. All Kinds Of Weather features a soulful rendition of Summertime and swings through Winter Wonderland. The whole album is great! Highly recommended, along with his other recordings.

Extremely enjoyable for jazz enthusiast and layman alike.......2003-07-22

I found the selection of jazz standards on this album to be extraordinarily rewarding. Jazz afficionados will be pleased, and the uninitiated will also be interested. I fall somewhere in between, and I have enjoyed the songs on several occasions, not least of all at a promotional concert. As an artist, Eileen Howard is a real pro. With regard to quality, her and her band's live renditions rival the recorded tracks.

Easy listening.......2003-07-22

In this sometimes hectic world, it can be very relaxing to plug in "All Kinds of Weather" and rock back in your favorite chair, close your eyes, and listen to Eileen sing. I recommend this CD without hesitation. Eileen's voice is soothing and relaxing.
