This album is a sheer joy to
listen to from the first note.This may be Jacintha's best album yet.The silky,
smooth, and sensuous voice of Jacintha is reproduced with an utterly natural
quality, revealing every nuance of her phenomenal intonation, phrasing, breath
control, and vocal modulation.Jacintha's voice floats between the speakers in a truly palpable
fashion, and if there is a microphone signature imparted to her voice, I sure
can't detect it.Ying Tan continues to do a
consistently outstanding job with his Groove Note releases, and Joe Harley's
production is impeccable.The better the sound, the worse the performance (or music),
and vice versa.In the past, Ying
has typically issued a 33 rpm LP, packaged with a bonus 45 rpm disc on which
some of the cuts are repeated.The benefits of 45 rpm are known to anyone who has
ever made the comparison with 33 rpm, and I wholeheartedly applaud this move to
45.The result is, to this listener,
simply mesmerizing.Jacintha injects a world of
emotion into Willow Weep for Me, and the accompanying tenor sax work of
Harry Allen is second to none.Jacintha's sultry voice heats up Something
Cool, a fifties staple that is given a new interpretation here.Don't
Smoke in Bed is suitably wistful.My hat's off to Ying Tan, Joe
Harley, Harry Allen, Bill Cunliffe, Bernie Grundman, and everyone else who made
this recording a reality.It's a knockout, and it deserves my highest
recommendation. |
