Pianist Seth Farber mixes gospel chords with boogie-woogie flourishes, and guitarist Jimmy Vivino plays the sort of lean, limber lead lines that would make T-Bone Walker jealous. Still, as talented as these musicians are, they also have the good sense to hang back and let Odetta do her thing. Her stately, conversational singing may not be the sort of stuff that your average contemporary listener expects from a "blues mama," but those who appreciate powerful presence, dry humor and a well-turned phrase will definitely dig where Odetta's coming from.       Dan Epstein     Dan Epstein is a Los Angeles-based journalist and pop-culture historian whose work has appeared in L.A.
