This poet weaves original verses around jazz, the blues, Spanish guitar and gypsy violin. Wailing and pleading. Will always give the listener ample food for thought.
Notes
Lord Patty is a collaboration of Iris Lord and Charles Patty

REVIEW
"With guitarist Charles Patty leading an instrumental quintet in support, poet IRIS LORD weaves original verses around cool acoustic jazz that simmers lightly. Not satisfied with a beat generation atmosphere, Lord adds chamber jazz, the blues, and overdubs of her spoken word monologues to the mix. Including the talents of violinist Bill Clifford, cellist Marston Smith, bassist Wolfgang Melz and drummer Alex Cline, she's designed a program that appeals to all generations. Lord's searing, emotional spoken word message remains the focus throughout, while a variety of instrumental interludes adds depth. The title track offers both Spanish guitar and gypsy violin in support of Lord's overdubbed spoken tracks. Wailing and pleading, she asks the question "Do I Belong Somewhere" which takes the listener on a trip of introspection Similarly, "Requiem" and blues ballads "Exorcism", "Why'd Ya Do It", and "Investigate" take the listener on a trip of sadness, melancholia, and diffused laments. Lord's piano playing is quite a surprise. In the spirit of Monk, she hammers at the keys and provides a unique dissonant sound. It's "out there" piano work, particularly evident atop the tango rhythms of "I Forgot To Tell You", which includes finely articulated drum set coloring. William Shatner pokes fun of the beat generation in his latest t.v. ads, but performed poetry of this nature has been around for centuries and will always give the listener ample food for thought. The album, just over a half-hour in length, is guaranteed to leave the listener craving more." July 2000 -LA Jazz Scene- by Jim Santella
