CD Reviews

Sexy and in no way immature

Steven Strauss | Oakland, CA USA | 09/24/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This singer has the gravitas of a Peggy Lee, the stylistic assurance of a Julie London, the hornlike dynamics of a Betty Carter, the relaxed sweetness of an Astrud Gilberto, and the attention-to-pitch of a Jo Stafford. If she were clever, too, she'd be an undeniable eighth wonder of the world, but I'm quite glad her music and her singing are honest and unmannered. Harry Shearer played her phenomenal Portuguese rendition of Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Lady on his radio show, and I was hooked. (I'd performed the tune a thousand times with lesser singers, but when I heard this I finally understood what the fuss was about.) I may not live long enough to obtain all her many albums but I may die trying."
