Inger Nova and Jeff Pevar have reunited on “Green Light,” a jazz-blues anthem that sounds as much like a musical Odyssey as it does personal awakening. The song quickly hooks you with the effortless back and forth between Nova and Pevar’s vocals, trading verses before coming together for a shared harmony in a manner that sounds both relaxed and deeply connected, a result of their decades as musical partners.
The masterful musicianship by Jeff Pevar keeps the song moving along. With Pevar playing every instrument and featuring the legendary drummer/percussionist Steve DiStanislao, it’s Pevar’s full-blown tapestry that envelops the storyline. The production and engineering, overseen by Pevar, allow every note to ring as clear and inspire from the light caress of a brushed cymbal all the way down to the warm embrace of a bass guitar on tracks.
“Green Light” is a call to wake up, let go of past fears and attachments, and stride powerfully into your authenticity. It’s about a man trapped by his comforts who wakes for a moment of revelation and reaches toward something real and shattering. By the time the track resolves, you are hearing a moment of clarity, a musical shove forward that embodies exactly what the song claims is happening when someone awakens. On “Green Light,” Nova and Pevar further establish that jazz and blues serve as a framework for storytelling, discovery, and connection.
