Although Diana Krall might not be first choice for the best jazz singer in the world she still manages to drip her lyrics like honey over the already sumptuous arrangements in this collection of standards. Her vocals are at once languid and precise, distant and intense and when added to the bittersweet, fully orchestral back-ups, it all comes together in a most intoxicating way. A definite grower; for the impatient listener a first take might be their last but with subsequent plays, the nuances blossom until you realise that you are hearing something rather special.

I HAVE A SERGIO MENDES ALBUM FROM THE LATE 60`s . WHEN HIS BAND WAS NAMED "Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66" BUT IT`s ON VINYL AND I HAVE`nt GOT ANYTHING TO PLAY IT ON NOW. SO WHEN THIS WAS LISTED IN THE 3 C.D`s FOR £10 SECTION I THOUGHT I WOULD BUY IT TO BRING BACK OLD MEMORIES. I AM PLEASED I DID. HIS MUSIC BRINGS THE SUN OUT EVEN IF IT`s RAINING. SO MUCH OF HIS MUSIC IS USED AS BACKING TRACKS BY T.V ADVERTISERS & PROGRAM MAKERS,
THAT HIS MUSIC IS THOUGHT TO BE COOL AGAIN. THIS C.D HAS ALL HIS GREAT MUSIC ON.
JUST LISTEN TO THE FIRST TRACK `Mas Que Nada` IT`s WORTH BUYING THIS C.D JUST FOR THAT.THEN LISTEN TO HIS INTERPRETATION ON BEATLES CLASSICS LIKE `DAY TRIPPER / NORWEGIAN WOOD / FOOL ON THE HILL / WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS`WHICH ... Read More:

Anyone familiar with LOTW and their sound will want to snap up this classic album - it is undoubtedly one the best soul/funk albums Britain has ever produced and certainly worth more than the modest asking price.

However, it is unfortunate that EMI's reissue team have once again let themselves down with a flat, rough-sounding transfer that doesn't do justice to Augie Johnson's crisp upfront production. Interesting as it is to hear LOTW/Beggar & Co/Funk Jazz Collective's poorly recorded recent live recordings included here as bonus tracks, it surely would have been better to include the blistering original 12" mixes.

All credit to EMI for making this available but like Johnnie Taylor's 'What About My Love" CD issue and the recent ... Read More:

Im amazed at how cheap these albums are as the musicianship and technical skill are so impressive. Grant Green's guitar with the vibraphone works beautifully tonally and melodically. An album for a jazz fan.

... Because Sony has removed it. Only the cds come into de the pocket, with their original LP Covers, very well packaged.
The only pain is that "The Lost Trident Sessions", a post-humous album available separately, has not been included.
The whole set is remarkable and a document of jazz-rock fussion second to none.

167.From Bessie to... by: Susannah Mccorkle
May 17, 1993
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : From Bessie to...
Susannah knew a lot about popular music, not just the Great American Songbook which are the mainstay of her recordings, but also songs of more recent origin.

Although this is not one of her thematic albums, it is yet another brilliant masterpiece, including covers of everything from Bessie Smith (My sweetie went away) and Ethel Waters (Thief in the night) to Paul Simon (Still crazy after all these years). Susannah also does great covers of That ole devil called love, a Billie Holliday classic, and The lady is a tramp.

Susannah was particularly good at putting her own interpretation on old classics. Her version of the Bing Crosby/Andrews sisters song Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive is given a completely different arrangement to the original - a wise move, ... Read More:

168.Kind Of Blue by: Miles Davis
September 26, 2005
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Kind Of Blue
Words cannot really do justice to this album. If it catches you just right it is all about the experience and not some intellectual definition. It's a classic for a reason and a great introduction to Miles Davis and jazz in general. Lower the lights, open a bottle of red wine and put this on, it's what jazz is all about!

Diana Krall has been my favorite way to introduce "non jazz lovers" to the genre. Her mellow voice and piano playing style seem to please most everyone. But this record alone (My favorite by far from her), has been responsible for most of the "conversions" to the jazz cause. Specially through "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". A great, great album by any standards. A "must have" to any music lover. A great tribute to one of the best Piano Player/voices in music history - Nat King Cole.
