You really want to love this album: Caswell has a voluptuous tone, especially in the lower registers or playing the hardanger d’amore, with its five extra resonating strings. On a ballad like Legrand's ‘On My Way to You’, or the earth-stands-still meditation ‘Stillness’ she has an allure that comes from a deep sense of melody.

Curiously, this release is her first as leader in 17 years, although the quartet, with the welcome addition of Dingman, have played together over much of that time, so there's a warm but never smug intimacy between them.

Given that, the love doesn't quite come; each note is so perfectly placed, each melody so pristinely performed you yearn for a glitch or a fluff to give it some spontaneous edge. For example, the closing Jobim/Moraes song ‘O Que Tinha de Ser’ is simplicity itself, and even when Veloso sings it with lush strings and full orchestra, it retains a fragility, a vulnerability that somehow escapes Caswell.

But these are minor carps and questions of taste: The Way to You is jazz through a classical filter, and in that world works wonderfully.
