Free Music Review: Singing Big Band / Jazz in English & French
Hit: 5 Stars
If you've heard Ann Savoy's previous albums (both her music with the Savoy Cajun Band/ the Savoy - Doucet Cajun Band & her duet album with Linda Ronstadt"Adieu False Heart", as well as solo albums), you may think you know what to expect from this album. You would be WRONG! Ann uses her experience in the cajun music scene well, but the numbers on this album are not her typical fare.
Here you get big band/ jazz songs from various well known sources: Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt, Rodgers & Hart, Dorothy Fields & Jerome Kern, as well as others. Ann is definitely up to the change of pace, as are her backup players, the Sleepless Knights. Together they nail this material!
Track listing:
1. If Dreams Come True (Goodman-Mills-Sampson)
2. The Very Thought of You (Noble)
3. Melodie Au Crepuscule (Reinhardt)
4. Getting Some Fun Out of Life (Burke-Leslie)
5. If You Don't I Know Who Will (Brymm-Smith-Williams)
6. Ces Petites Choses (Stachez-Marvell)
7. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered (Hart-Rodgers)
8. If Your Kisses Can't Hold the Man You Love (Ellis-Yellen)
9. It's Like Reaching for the Moon (Lewis-Marquessee-Sherman-Degroot, Jr.)
10. Si Tu Savais (Ulmer)
11. The Way You Look Tonight (Fields-Kern)
To close, I quote from the CD insert:
Ann Savoy never rests musically. ...With help from the Sleepless Knights... things go in a decidedly "Quintet De Hot Club" direction. She and the players have produced a hugely enjoyable and timeless recording.
Coming from Richard Thompson (of Fairport Convention fame), this is high praise indeed. I couldn't have stated it better myself...
