Live Music Guide Review of "I Feel You" (Kelsey Miller): Alpert and Hall’s romantic chemistry
transfers exceptionally onto the 15 tracks, with two of jazz music’s
finest presenting a fun yet calming, easy listening album. The release’s
many covers are presented in a new, fresh way and the original songs
prove exactly what makes both all-star jazz musicians just that in the
music world.
