New jazz duo Jeanie Mishler and Charlie Hiestand write ten of the twelve songs on this CD and the two covers are certainly handled as if they wrote them. There's no danger of being overwhelmed with all this original material. New means fresh, great beats mean fun, hot horn section means exciting, great solos mean deep, man! Wanna smile? - "A Dog's Life." Needing to move past a relationship? - "I Wish I Could Stop Lovin' You." Wanna go deep? - "Ravenna Nocturne." Do ya' like Gershwin and Porter? - "Old Fashioned." Need a laugh? - "It's Okay." Need to get out of a slump? - "The Color of Your Mood." You get the idea. Brighten your day! Give Hopscotch a spin.
