Review of Jaz - A Cleaning Woman

At first I thought this *subject, "Jaz the Cleaning Woman" wasn't closely miced. *You try micing a person who doesn't stand still! I'm not sure a body mic would have made the difference.
The point is, Jaz is on the move.
And the piece uses jazz (the music, not the cleaning woman) as a production element. The music helps portray the character.
Later in the story we get some ambient cleaning sounds and they build near the end. But the music works well also.
This energetic woman offers us pointers, insights - and even a joke about clean glass!
Labor Day is the obvious time to use this, but it also works as a
day-in-the-life.
