CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Kim Nalley has delivered a thoroughly tasty vocal album that combines both jazz integrity and blues sensibility. It is firmly in the tradition of the classic swinging combo recordings of Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday, yet possesses a soulful groove reminiscent of the Blues and R& B divas, Dinah Washington and Etta James. Whether sitting close to your speaker with a cocktail or out dancing up a storm, this CD will compel you to listen over and over again. "At Last" is given new life with a delectable, drawn-out vocal that evokes cocktails, fireplaces and bearskin rugs. Nalley's backing trio, Etta James' Pianist Dave Mathews, Bassist Jeff Chambers (Gonzalo Rubacla) and Drummer Kent Bryson (Johnny Nocturne Band), shimmers beautifully on a haunting, Latin version of Eden Ahbez' enigmatic ballad, "Nature Boy." It is easily one of the best recordings of that song in recent memory. The title cut is a rollicking boogie-woogie original; Nalley's double-take lyrics and! barrelhouse delivery fit nicely into the tradition of bawdy women's blues songs, and go a long way towards securing her place in that lineage. And the closer is a warmhearted take on "Our Day Will Come" that leaves the listener upbeat and wanting more. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsI GOT IT! lorinculver | Berkeley, CA | 07/20/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! Finally, tonight, after listening to Kim Nalley, I understand the Blues! Or have at least begun to understand and actually appreciate the genre. In fact, not more than two days ago I just made the comment to someone that I did not enjoy the Blues. I just returned from a Kim Nalley performance tonight at the restaurant Downtown in Berkeley with two friends and immediately purchased both her CDs. Kim Nalley and her band, are solely responsible for my "Jazz Epiphany!" I was classically trained on the violin for over 13 years and regularly attend the opera and symphony. But tonight was truly enjoyable. The CD has the same musicians I saw her with and it sounds awesome. Everyone should know how wonderful her music and voice are.A true fan and recent convert of jazz, Lorin W. Culver" Kim Nalley's Need My Sugar Dave Colbert | Vallejo, CA USA | 03/03/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "First solo release by Kim who is well known in the San Francisco Bay Area for her R&B stylings as the lead singer with the Johnny Nocturne Band. Here she shows off her jazzy side on standards and originals with a very sympathetic band assembled for her in Switzerland. Thoroughly enjoyable set of music that leaves you wanting to hear more, more, more." Jazz Jewel Mark F. Robb | San Francisco, CA, USA | 08/12/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kim Nalley has gone back to her roots and made a wonderful CD of Jazz standards with one new song that she wrote herself. My favorite is "Nature Boy," but she puts her stylistic stamp on all of the songs. Her strong voice is right up front and she is backed by a band of great musicians. This is the CD you put on when you want to spend an evening with the one you love. I can listen to it over and over again."
