Free Music Review: An acquired taste
Hit: 3 Stars
The death of this artist and recommendations from acquaintances who described him as a "jazz singer" led me to pick up this CD. The immediate impression is that the production values are overdone--even to the point of distracting from what seems to be a richly expressive baritone. And when he goes for a Sinatra-style standard ("How About You"), swing is the furthest thing from his mind.
I suspect that Lucien should not be judged by the usual standards. He's not simply a singer with accompaniment. He's a tone-colorist, the creator of a total soundscape of which his voice is simply one component. The instrumentation, arrangements, textures, and even most of the songs are his as much as the voice. To the listener who has the time and patience, there could be significant payloads in Lucien's music that require repeated listenings and some adjustment of the criteria by which we usually respond to a "jazz singer."
