| Juliette's
live jazz record "revival"(2002) - celebration of
a start of a new- Dublin- period in her music and life
Juliette Esper’s “Revival”
is a classic work of sultry & seductive artistry from
this Irish Chanteuse. A new beginning & rebirth for this
multi talented singer, as she traverses through genres of
jazz, blues, free form, traditional, alternative, trance &
roots music all with the stamp & creative fluidity that
is her mark
“Lover Man” with its neo-standard
atmospheric shadow play, contrasts with “Round Midnight” ;
Both with their dreamy & smoke filled cool & darkly
warm air of reflection. With other standards like “Lets Fall
In Love” , “Caravan”, “No More Blues” & “Cry Me A River”
we are treated to an in home live look into Juliette Esper’s
performance

Dzuma
The segue into Juliette’s
“Dzuma” works, showcase her work in Estonia & cross over
into a different color & nuance. Cuts such as “Café
Torina” & “A Letter From Tokyo” run a gamut of post modern
dance that is stimulating in it’s originality & thought
provoking lyrics
“Deo” & “Solitude 3000”
showcase currents of pop & dance rhythms with synthesis
& mainstream textures that are modernist & neo-disco
without the trappings of retro. Swaths of European & a
South American breeze shimmy into Baltic flavors of originality.

The
Creakin' Boots
Again changing
dimensions in “ The Creaking Boots” work, conjures up tunes
such as “I’m Done I’m Thru” with it’s down to earth roots
tone ; Coupled with “Voodoo Baby” which has a pseudo-campy
retro feel replete with some Rockabilly hick-up overtones
