Free Music Review: Atrocious
Hit: 2 Stars
I purchased this CD on Dave Koz's and Phil Ramone's reputation alone. I must say this is the WORST CD ever. Dave Koz might be a pretty face, but falls into the same pitfalls as Kenny G...actually I would've rather preferred Kenny G to this nonsense. India.arie, Anita Baker, and Vanessa Williams, artists that I love, just "phone in" their performances. Something that Phil Ramone should remember from doing those Frank Sinatra "Duet" albums. Dave Koz, instead of performing the entire melody of Cinema Paradiso, plays some sort of improv until the last minute or so of the song. Also, Barry Manilow is competent enough to perform to Moon River, and does a good job, but has to fight with the terrible sax solos. Donna Summer tries to do her best, but you feel she is holding back, or that Dave Koz is limiting her to make room for his obnoxious solos. Uugh...bland and terrible. The Pink Panther theme seems to work, but not for the whole 3 and some awful minutes. Steer clear of this one folks.

Concept discs tend to go one of two ways--they dance around a theme, causing listeners to draw their own conclusions about how well the album hangs together, or they come on strong. Sax man Dave Koz's At the Movies floats mellifluously into the second category. From the moment Judy Garland's voice comes keening through the crackle of "Over the Rainbow," we're transported directly into the cinema alongside Koz and a handful of high-wattage friends. Only in Koz's theater, the music is at times more heart-tuggingly pretty than we remember. "Moon River," from Breakfast at Tiffany's meanders gracefully before Barry Manilow surfaces to lend a languid, signature-smooth vocal. "The Shadow of Your Smile" from The Sandpiper sends ripples of bittersweetness down the spine straight through the soul. In a surprising standout track, India.Arie snakes her vocal to Tootsie's "It Might Be You" around Koz's sax so winningly you half-wish she had sung the original. Koz himself is no slouch here, either: six instrumentals belong to him exclusively, some so lush it seems a shame do-overs aren't on Oscar's radar. --Tammy La Gorce
