Like Silver, Like Song

Like Silver, Like Song is a studio album by American jazz saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom, which was recorded in 2004 and released on April 15, 2005, by Artistshare label.

[6][7] Ken Dryden of AllMusic wrote, "Jane Ira Bloom has been one of the more adventurous soprano saxophonists who straddles the edge of straight-ahead jazz without ever losing sight of great melody.

"[1] David Franklin of JazzTimes commented, "Bloom and her associates perform her thoughtful music with obvious empathy and consummate skill.

The snap, crackle, pop and bubble of electronic sound on it isn't nearly as forward-thinking and ear-opening as the free-form rhapsody and lyrical balladry is gorgeous and moving.

The inescapable conclusion, then, is that this newest free-flowing quartet disc by Jane Ira Bloom presents great, formerly young jazz musicians only perfunctorily preserving musical freedom while truly relishing the deepest and most expressive parts of their natures.
