Not that I don’t love plenty of jazz, but my tastes tend to lean towards the swing of things. As I delved deeper into this five-song EP, I decided that Teddy P took several risks in creating this record, and that it would be disingenuous for me as the critic to not risk something as well. Given as singular as Teddy P is, they can skirt the fringes of the absurd, but never veer into the ridiculous. “Reticent” is the most immediately pleasing track on the record, and features the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Ester Judd. Using these low growl moog/synth type sounds is something I’ve never heard on a jazz record before.
