The aptly titled The Party's Over documents that moment in time when the conversation ends, the liquor runs dry, and the guests have all gone home. A contemplative, beautifully melancholy record, it captures a side of Ruth Price largely absent from her other LPs, paring her music to the essence of its being. Price favors a slightly breathy vocal approach that eloquently underscores the deeply personal intensity of songs like "By Myself," "If I Love Again," and "I Guess I'll Have to Dream the Rest." Norman Paris' small-combo arrangements are no less thoughtful: while the jazzy, piano-trio settings strip away unnecessary augmentation, the music is far from black-and-white -- splashes of instrumental color buoy Price's vocals at all the right moments.
