Make This Moment
Inger Marie Gundersen | Kultur & Spetakkel y Stephen Latessa

During some downtime from watching American Idol on the eight
nights it seems to be on each week, I was able to listen to Make
This Moment by vocalist Inger Marie Gundersen. The album is a nice
reminder that vocal performances do not always have to be unbridled
exhibitions of melismatic acrobatics. Indeed the hallmark of the
album is an admirable restraint, and even austerity in the vocals
and instrumentation.

Make This Moment features a unique mix of new songs, standards, and
classic pop/rock offerings. "Let It Be Me," popularized by the
Everly Brothers, doesn't necessarily lend itself to extended
improvisation, but it does give Gundersen the chance to caress the
lovely melody with her smoky voice. She also offers a tender version
of the perennial "Always On My Mind."


Gundersen's band offers sympathetic, yet unobtrusive support. A
medley of "Fool on the Hill" and "Nature Boy" features a sensitive
saxophone solo by Øivind G. Stømer, who is the son of Gundersen.
However, for the most part, the performances remain lean and free of
any showy solos. The focus is on the songs.


Make This Moment is an encouraging debut solo recording by a
promising talent. Gundersen and her band treat their material with
the utmost respect and delicacy. The album is a refreshingly
tasteful affair.
