Recorded live at a legendary New York City jazz venue, this CD features Carol Sudhalter (baritone sax, flute, vocal on her original “Colin Blues”), Patrick Poladian (piano), Kevin Hailey (upright bass), and Mike Campenni (drums). Poldain composed “Fun in the Alley.” The set also includes material by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Sonny Rollins, Benny Golson, Tadd Dameron, Bill Evans, Hank Mobley, Don Redman. Those numbers with Sudhalter’s bari sax are deep, lissome and expressive. Being a live album, we hear applause, an occasional cough, or comments from the bandleader. Those, along with her vocals, are a little hard to hear. She switches to flute for Bill Evans’ “Time Remembered,” “Colin Blues,” “Fun in the Alley” and “Luiza.” Each accompanist gets plenty of chances to solo, with “Gee baby Ain’t I Good To You” being a particularly nice showcase for bassist Kevin Hailey.  Since the 1970s, and with over ten albums released, Carol Sudhalter has been a leader and pioneer promoting women in jazz.  She played with the all-female Latin band, Latin Fever. She founded the Astoria Big Band over three decades ago. She has worked with Etta Jones, Chico Freeman, Jimmy McGriff, Sarah McLawler, Henry Butler, Jimmy Cobb, Jason Marsalis and has her own groups. While I would’ve preferred hearing this quartet on a studio release, the excitement and energy of live performance are emphasized on “Live at Saint Peter’s Church” with a pleasant variety of songs and creative playing.
