Jonathan Karrant – Full Circle (CD)

Jonathan Karrant has built his reputation as one of the more compelling jazz vocalists working today, drawing on classic influences while keeping his phrasing rooted in something genuinely felt rather than merely studied. Full Circle lives up to its title, finding Karrant in a reflective mode that suits his warm baritone, tracing the arc of a career spent honoring the Great American Songbook without being imprisoned by it.
