Free Music Review: Nancy LaMott Remembered
Hit: 5 Stars
"There is no more beautiful musical instrument than the voice of Nancy LaMott." ~ Bob Harrington, New York Post ~
Nancy LaMott's "Come Rain or Come Shine: The Songs of Johnny Mercer" is one of my all-time favorite recordings that I will wholeheartedly recommend not only to fans of LaMott and Mercer, but also to lovers of fine music who greatly appreciate exquisite singing. It is absolutely one of the best tributes ever recorded. She gives heartfelt and dramatically beautiful readings of some of the most loved lyrics of a high-caliber wordsmith and occasional singer from Savannah, Georgia, the late John Herndon Mercer, an Academy Award winner who had earned his perpetual star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his outstanding works. Ms. LaMott's love for Mercer music was greatly influenced by her father, whose band played a lot of songs from Mercer's catalogue.
The heart-stopping interpretations and wonderful arrangements are the results of collaborative talents of Nancy LaMott, producer David Friedman and pianist/arranger/director Chris Marlowe. Behind that powerful yet charming voice is the superb instrumentations of Ken Sebesky (guitar), Jay Leonhart (bass) and Chris Marlowe himself on piano, among others.
Listen closely with your undivided attention as she flawlessly shows off her exquisite vocal art singing two of my all-time favorite songs that Mercer co-wrote with a legendary composer, Henry Mancini -- "Moon River" done in the most beautiful setting accompanied only by the impressive piano playing of Chris Marlowe, and an emotional highlight -- a timeless gem of a song, "The Days of Wine And Roses" rendered in a medley with "Whistling Away The Dark."
She ends this enchanting presentation with "P.S. I Love You," a heartfelt and a perfect finale to this sublime tribute album. We love you, too, Nancy LaMott! Although you're no longer with us physically, your gorgeous music will continue to delight our ears and will eternally live in our hearts.
Come Rain or Come Shine Poster
As an interpreter, Nancy LaMott shunned extremes. Whatever clouds may have darkened the sky, she always sounded as if they couldn't possibly lead to a thunderstorm--only a gentle rain that would eventually becomes, well, shine. And so her tribute to lyricist Johnny Mercer typically avoids emotional extremes, exploring instead subtle in-betweens. The low-key version of "Moon River" that starts things off is indicative of this album's subdued mood. LaMott was well aware she wasn't a swinger, so her take on finger-snapping classics such as "Accentuate the Positive" (instead of the song's usual spelling "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate") and "That Old Black Magic" is sensitive rather than jazzily buoyant. Her minimalist approach reaps maximum rewards on "P.S. I Love You" and "On the Atchison, Topeka & the Santa Fe," on which she basically engages in duets with carefully selected instruments (an acoustic guitar and a stand-up bass, respectively). --Elisabeth VincentelliPop Music CDs
