Search - PATRIZIA...The Sultry Lady of Jazz :: All The Things You Are

This straight-ahead jazz album consisting of an impressive collection of 12 Classic Jazz Standards was recorded live on August 25, 2006 in the music room of Irwin and Joan Jacobs. All of the compositions were chosen by Patrizia because of their extremely beautiful timeless music, and the emotional depth of the lyrics. Alan Zundelevich arranged each composition especially for her. Patrizia put together a stellar group of master musicians, consisting of Richard James on Piano, Daniel Jackson on Tenor-Sax, Bob Magnusson on Bass, and Ronnie Stewart on Drums. Each one of the sidemen knew the role of their instrument so well, that even upon seeing the arrangements for the first time, the performances they deliver are truly outstanding. Listening to Patrizia sing is addictive, because she sings with so many ranges of emotion, romance, lust, passion, melancholy, anticipation, joy, hope, and sadness, holding each note until it has served her purpose as she gently eases into the next. Her musical interpretations are with such natural phrasing, clear articulation, mellow tones, superb pitch and so much feeling she makes each composition come alive. Telling the story as if she were the composer. Patrizia allowed her sidemen to not merely be accompanists but fellow creators whose contributions take on the same importance as hers. It is this combined artistry, this ultimate mix, that makes this album impressive." "The the vocals are terrific, the background solid, and the recording quality is excellent. Great music to listen to, smile to, fall in love to, and dance too.
