For Jane Fair is not just lyrical, but poetic as if Dylan Thomas came to life and took up the saxophone and when soloing on "Chances Are," a song that loosely recalls the changes on "Memories of You," even Whitmanesque. Fair makes her tenor wake up and sing like a horn come to life. Her compositions are also incredibly complete in the way that perhaps only fellow saxophonist Wayne Shorter's are.
