Free Music Review: Great Jazz from a great Pop singer
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is a great Jazz CD. Rita was 25 years ahead of her time (of Pop singers recording Jazz standards) as the first nine songs on this CD were recorded in 1975 with Barbara Carroll on Piano (along with Chuck Domanico on Bass, Mike Utley on Organ, Dean Parks on Guitar and Colin Bailey on Drums). Colin Bailey is famous for his drumming with The Vince Guaraldi Trio. In the liner notes Rita writes about the connection she made with Barbara during the recording of this CD and that is evident in the results. Each song from the 1975 sessions is a gem, especially the moody ballads "Mean To Me", "Am I Blue" and "The Man I Love". Equally fine are her renditions of Ray Charles "Hallelujah I Love Him So" and Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me". What makes the Ray Charles and Sam Cooke songs even better is that they're performed with the same simple arrangements as the other songs; she doesn't use them as a sidetrip to a more uptempo sound. She sticks to the mood of the whole album. I'd give this CD 5 stars, but the two cuts from 1995 are not of the same caliber - they're more Top 40 tunes given the Jazz treatment. They're not bad, they're just not as good as the first nine songs. A fine voice performing fine songs.
