Reviews
Some records seem to come out of nowhere. I have no idea where, where or how I got that record, but some day I found it in my collection and gave it a spin. I came to like it and play it once in a while, it's always a pleasant surprise.
It's actually very well recorded (although tons of strings in the background, so it makes for loung music more than careful active listening). If one enjoys lush lounge / orchestral jazz (à la Diana Krall, etc) it's actually quite good. The sound of that record is huge, incredibly loud, but doesn't sound clipped (I never checked, perhaps it is mixed very hot).
Very good bass content, bass is deep and solid, it makes you wonder why so many digital recordings are unable to get the bass right like this one. On the bass is Christian McBride, who played on a number of good records by Ray Brown (Superbass 2) or Pat Metheny (Day Trip) or Diana Krall, etc. I don't know the other musicians, but everyone's doing a pretty good job (drums and percussion are quite good as well).
The piano is jazzy, more latin style at times, but pleasant (overall the mix of piano and strings somehow reminds me of the Canadian Trail Suite by Oscar Peterson on Telarc). Cassandra Wilson sings on 2 tracks, and is -very- closely mic'd, and while I'm not a big fan of hers, both tracks are quite good.
Mastering by Doug Sax, so no wonder the whole thing sounds good.
Anyway a surprising record, very well recorded and quite entertaining.
(I still wonder how that record wormed its way into my collection, but I'm keeping it.)
