Free Music Notes for Heaven & Earth
Free Music Review: Timeless
Hit: 4 Stars
I must say that Jarreau's versatility continues to shine on this album.
Yes, this album is mostly contemporary R&B, but only in the style that we are most familiar with Jarreau.
Excellent take on the classic "Blue in Green"; only a true artist would stay true to a priceless gem as this one and Jarreau exceeds this! :-)
Free Music Review: Not one of the best.
Hit: 3 Stars
Sorry but I must disagree with other reviewers here as IMHO this record doesn't live to natural expectations from such a great singer as Al Jarreau.Except for the tracks 1 and 2 this record suffers from a lack of inspired melody heard on other records. The quality of the sound is a little too bright and artificially processed. Definitely not recommended.
Free Music Review: Better than Celine Dion...barely
Hit: 1 Stars
Such a pitty this great vocal tallent made so many of these sweeeeeet recordings...
In order not to come off as too strict a jazz purist, I would like to point that I recall buying an Aretha Franklin record in the 80's, the one in which she sounded ridiculosly close to Whitney Houston. If memory serves me well, Narada Michael Walden was responsible for that misdemeanor (not to say crime) as well. It's the album where she had a hit duo with George Michael and, as sole (at least remotely) creative point, recorded "Jumpin'Jack Flash" (was Keith Richards on guitar at that particular song?).
Don't get me wrong, if Jarreau sounds like Whitney Houston on this album, it still makes this CD better than the music of Celine Dion... But if you want my humble opinion, only barely!
