The unlikeliest of bedfellows sometimes make the sweetest music, and Julia Hulsmann's Good Morning Midnight is such a union: soulful, sinewy piano trio jazz, set around ten Dickinson poems plus one song ("Riverman") from the late English singer/songwriter and Twentieth Century romantic, Nick Drake. Imagine the Esbjörn Svensson Trio with Kurt Elling re-setting the works of William Wordsworth and you're approaching the right ballpark. And the secret weapon here is undoubtedly Roger Cicero. His schooled, technically facile voice lends itself well to Dickinson's precise and formal verse, but the soul/gospel undertones behind the college veneer provide the real spark.
