This collection by Ms. Jones shows that she is equally comfortable in jazz, bluesy funk, and ballads.  Her rich, warm alto voice lends itself well to these songs, mostly her own (catchy) originals, although two others are covered admirably, including a snappy funk-feel setting of "Lover Man".  The very able backing musicians, including her fellow Boston Arts Academy faculty member Greg Holt on bass, paint a widely varied palette of colors and textures to set off the artist's voice. My personal favorite is the title tune, penned by Jones herself.

This is an incredible CD featuring some great tunes.  There's an interesting mix of styles--each track takes you to a different place that is filled with energy.  The 5 original tunes...WOW!  I can't get 90 Days out of my head (in a good way!) And Allyssa's cover of Lover Man had me lovin' it from the first beat.  Great new interpretation of an old standard.

The only dissapointment is that it's only 7 tracks long.  I would have liked twice that many.

Daughter's Dance is refreshingly soulful and truly original. Ms. Jones delivers with clarity and confidence.

My ears were pin and waited to hear the next word...as I listen to the music. I wish the CD was created in a roller coaster type of way-slow and fast music would come on consecutively. A few slow songs, two lovers' type of CD. It is nice to hear musical artists writing and playing with substance.
