"on um Tom Sou-O) PM PICTURE FRAIES Ross MacDonald Chronicle Special Reunion Scott Cossu Windham Hill Records The musical background of pianist Scott Cossu belies the glossy and atmospheric approach that is symbolic of the Windham Hill label. Cossu has studied ethnomusicology, recorded Indian music, played keyboards with MB groups, and been influenced by artists as diverse as Thelonius Monk and Professor Longhair. A smidgeon of these influences are illuminated on Reunion but for the most part, the song structures are true to the spirit of Windham Hill: entrancing melodies built around rudimentary improvisation, of which the resulting soundscapes fall some- where between the ambient approach of Brian Eno and lounge music.

With Patti Smith content being a homemaker and excellent interpretive singers such as Valerie Carter and Wendy Waldman nowhere to be seen, the void is getting bigger. Even the rash of new releases has done little to remedy the situation. Marti Jones is definitive of the new breed. In fact, their resumes must all look the same: pleasant voice, limited range, purveyor of average material, ability to attract big-name help; career goal: play it safe and sound like the competition. Match Game is Jone's second album and true to the aforementioned resume. it's another faceless product. Consider- ing the impressive list of hired hands - Don Dixon, Mitch Easter, Marshall Crenshaw. T-Bone Burnett, and Paul Camel - I would have expected something more.
