Free Music Notes for A Night of Rapture - Live
Free Music Review: A must have... regardless of whether you have all her previous recordings!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
When you listen to this recording you get the full measure of Anita. By that I mean, you will find that what she does and is best at, is not by benefit of any studio technical wizardry.
In many ways this recording is the equal of "Rapture" for it's directness, it's straight to the point delivery. Anita's voice is rich with big, rich tones. Those exhortations and unique vocal embellishments holds you transfixed.
The band is first rate and she is backed inobtrusively by a band of some exceptional musicians, most notably James Bradley, Jr. and Gerald Allbright.
For me, "Mystery" and "(Caught up in the ) Rapture" actually surpass the studio versions because Anita is just so much more direct in concert. Nothing gets in the way.
This is an enhanced CD with three MPEG files from the accompanying video which I also have.
This is an excellent concert recording. She even attempts Van Morrison's "Moondance" which has now become a standard especially within the jazz world. This is where the more contemporary band gives it a perfunctory performance but Anita transcends this and captures the jazzy feel of the piece, somewhat faithfully. It's the one departure from what we all know is the Anita Baker repertoire.
A truly compelling concert recording.
