Free Music Review: Six new songs added to Lamott's songbook--at last.
Hit: 5 Stars
For those who have been waiting more than eight years for a new Nancy Lamott album, this release is hugely welcome. New songs featuring this great American cabaret singer, and some new treatments for old songs, add new depth to her work and revive all the sadness that she was taken so soon, at age 43, long before she'd fulfilled her musical dreams. Here, in this live CD, one has the opportunity to hear a concert, complete with her amusing patter, and to appreciate her almost palpable sense of connection with her audience.
Six new songs and five previously recorded songs shows Lamott in all her moods. Among the new songs, "Sailin' On" is now one of my favorite Lamott songs, a song of a child's dreams and the uncharted oceans one explores in sleep. A classical piano solo, "Bach's Prelude No. 11, in F," played by Chris Marlowe, Lamott's long-time accompanist, gradually leads to variations, until it turns into a surprising version of the Warren and Mercer "Jeepers Creepers." Lamott sings Lorenz and Hart's "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" slowly and passionately--as a person who has just found love, regrettably late in life (as was true in her own case).
Recorded just seven weeks before she died, the concert seems subtly directed toward helping the audience deal with her illness. The slow but emotionally upbeat "The Promise" features lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman and music by David Shire, and Lamott's musical declaration that "I trust tomorrow as much as today...and I promise I'll never say good-bye" achieves enormous poignancy. "Help is on the Way," written at her direction by her long-time producer David Friedman, and James Taylor's "Secret of Life," with its lyrics that "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time...Isn't it a lovely ride?" all express her refusal to succumb to negative thoughts.
As always, Lamott is accompanied by Marlowe, whose piano accompaniments range from a quiet, elegantly melodic line in "Listen to My Heart" to a rich, fully developed, let-it-all-hang-out interpretation in "How Deep is the Ocean." The strength and purity of LaMott's voice, along with her control, allow her to give unique interpretations to songs, old and new. Her clear vibrato ranges from a soft whisper to full-out belting, though she never loses sight of her lyrics, offering unusual and gorgeous treatments. A vibrant woman and remarkable "saloon singer," Lamott leaves behind a great legacy, not only in her music but also in the strength she demonstrates in this concert. Mary Whipple
Live at Tavern on the Green Poster
Recorded live at Nancy's last engagement at Tavern on the Green, just seven weeks before her untimely death, this CD is filled with radiant, joyful, gorgeously sung performances, as well as charming, funny, often-touching patter.Featuring some of your favorite Nancy LaMott standards plus many songs you've never heard her sing on CD before, this CD captures, for all time, the magic that was Nancy Live.
Released close to a decade after her death at 43, this live CD testifies to what made Nancy LaMott special to many cabaret lovers. The singer had a gentle, homespun manner rather different from the urban sophistication one so often associates with the classic American songbook. She sounded as if she didn't have a vindictive bone in her body and enjoyed the true worth of life's most basic pleasures with sincere optimism--no wonder she offers here a cleancut of Berlin's "I Got the Sun in the Morning." Backed by a discreet trio, LaMott is at her understated best on the more melancholy numbers, such as Rodgers and Hart's "I Didn't Know What Time It Was." The recording, which documents an entire show, banter included, also shows that LaMott was ahead of the game in the way she seamlessly mixed standards with modern pop (tracks by Rupert Holmes, Antonio Carlos Jobim and James Taylor). --Elisabeth Vincentelli
