That very album, titled Anne Bisson Keys to My Heart, released by Camilio Records (CAM5034), was the one I chose for this review. One of my favorite tracks on the album is “Where Am I Now?” It’s a lively and upbeat tune that features Anne Bisson on vocals and piano, accompanied by Darek Oleskiewicz on acoustic bass and Joe LaBarbera on drums. Listening to the entire album on the Odyssey was like having Anne in the listening room with me. Her voice was incredibly smooth and romantic, almost ethereal. Her piano playing was on par with anyone else currently recording, with notes that popped with a lightness and clear attack. The bass was so alive that you could feel the flesh plucking the strings, and the sliding of notes was definitely present, but not overly pronounced. It felt more like a live performance than a recording. I’ll attribute that to the Odyssey’s ability to deliver every aspect of the album’s groove without adding any of its own characteristics. It was simply stellar!
