The Music of What Happens

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Cathie Ryan sings with a tragic heart. Her flawless soprano never tightens into stiff professionalism. Instead it wraps itself around notes, wrenching experience from an age-old form. Her repertoire, while a mix of soft originals, aged traditional Irish ballads, and newer songs from songwriters she admires, tends to picture the world in difficult yet hopeful terms. Her second album features Gerry O'Beirne's compact reading of modern politics and private love, "The Lights of San Francisco," and Dick Farrelly's "We Dreamed Our Dreams," which works a haunting melody around a lyric of a lost promise of love. Seamus Egan's spotless production highlights Michael Aharon's sympathetic piano, a web of acoustic guitars, and, of course, Ryan's voice, presented most starkly in the near a cappella "Erin's Lovely Home." --Rob O'Connor

Album Description

"Deja View" is the second album from the Texas-based group Hanna's Reef. The album is a follow-up to their 2002 live recording, "Reef Madness", which is also available on amazon.com . This album was recorded in-studio, and features 14 tracks of original music, all written by Hanna's Reef guitarist Jerry Diaz. Nine of these tracks were previously released by the band Key West, of which Diaz was a member. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Danny Broussard, at The Control Room, in Nederland, Texas.

The inside liner notes of the Cd contain the following message from Jerry Diaz:

"This album is called "Deja View", because it contains some of our favorite songs from our past, and also some of the new music that we're making now. We hope that by putting these songs side by side on the same album, our fans can see that we intend to continue where we left off a couple of years ago. The same style, but updated as we go along. You can expect that trend to continue on future Hanna's Reef albums.

So if you've been looking for something to fill that void that only a folk, country, reggae, rockin' calypso band can fill, you've found a home here on the Reef. We'll have the crawfish and raw oysters waiting for you. Later, we're gonna break out the rum and the cold beer, and have us a party. Welcome aboard mate!"

Great album, great band!.......2004-08-17

What a pleasant surprise this purchase turned out to be! I heard about Hanna's Reef from a friend of mine in Texas. She had seen them perform at a festival there this summer. I had not heard them, but bought the Deja View CD on her recommendation.

"Rum in Pensacola" is just awesome! I think that if this song ever gets on the radio, it will be a national hit. But it's not the only good song here. They are just one right after another. "Tropical Girl" is great, and so is "Beer Drinkers and Sail Raisers". These guys just have a great sound, and their music really makes people feel good.

I definitley recommend this CD to anyone who likes fun, uplifting, "tropical" music!

Best yet.......2004-05-25

What makes Hanna's Reef stand apart is that in their live shows they blend original music with Buffett-esque covers. They are not just another cover band. This album combines nine of Jerry's original songs that were recorded in his previous lifetime, with five new original tunes. The opening track, Rum In Pensacola, is worth the price of the CD by itself. If this song doesn't get some radio play, somebody missed the boat. The rest of the new songs are great, and the older songs have been updated and sound great also.

Another great album from Hanna's Reef!.......2004-05-25

The second CD, first studio CD from Hanna's Reef has 14 tracks, 5 new songs along with 9 re-recorded songs from back when most of Hanna's Reef played under the name Key West-The Band. Unlike many "re-recorded" songs, these nine songs have been re arranged and reworked in one way or the other, and have a new feel and "soul" to them. They're like new songs and well worth listening to again and again.
The name "Deja View" (which I'm kinda partial to) was chosen because, in Jerry Diaz' words "It contains some of our favorite songs from our past and some of the new music that we're making now."

And Hanna's Reef is making some great music! This CD has been the only one in my player for over a week now and it's not coming out anytime soon.

The CD starts with "Rum in Pensacola", a "kick yourself in the butt because you didn't realize what you had" song. I've been listening to Jerry's songs for eight years now and this song is my favorite.

The next song, "Tropical Girl" is a tropical love story with a Latin flair.

"Beer Drinkers and Sail Raisers" gets it's start from the back of a Hanna's Reef T-Shirt. This song is destined to be the "Sing Along" song on the CD, with lyrics like:
"We're Beer Drinkers and Sail Raisers
Smiles away from the old rat racers
Three sheets to the wind and goin' strong.
We're all for one, one for all
Bound for another port o' call
Doing everything I said I would
Life is good!

"King of the Island" is a story about Galveston Island in the 30's when "Victor was king of the island" and the Mob wanted to move in.

"Island Time" Sometimes the world moves way too fast and there's too much technology. You just want to slow things down.

"Bitter Winds" We've all looked back and said "what if". This song reminds you to keep moving forward, reaching for your "pot of gold".

"Livin Well" This is a song about the "rock star life" but could also apply to a mid-life crisis. Hey, either one, along with this song sounds great and is nothing but fun. Jerry Diaz gets on the mike for this one.

"Jamaica Me Smile" Sometimes you meet someone that makes you feel better than a week in the Keys or in this case, Jamaica.

"Have You Seen Your Rita" We all know or have known someone like this.

"Local Knowledge" "Local Knowledge" is information and stories that you're not going to hear in the tourist traps. You have to go where the locals are. Those memories can sometimes be the best treasures from any trip. This song is one of the treasures of the CD.

"Sail Away" Had Enough? It's time for an escape, a get away. This song is the next best thing to just walking away and heading to the nearest boat.

"Makin' Waves" Another great song about 5 people getting away and Makin' Waves.

"Fun in the Sun" Classic 60's beach song. Very Beach Boy-esque. This song is screaming for a remake with Beach Boy Mike Love sitting in. If your not tapping your feet during this song, call the doctor - You're comatose.

"Everything's Gonna Be Alright" A catchy, feel good song to wrap up the CD.... Well, almost. Here's a hidden "track"

You'll be able to see Hanna's Reef not only at Meeting of the Minds in Key West this November, but also at Riddles in the Sand in Galveston, Texas the last weekend in July.

This review, along with $.75 will get you coffee in some places other than Starbucks. It's just my opinion and you know what they say about those.

Happy listening!

Incredible!.......2004-05-25

I've been following these guys for several years, even before they went by the name "Hanna's Reef". This album is BY FAR head and shoulders above anything they've released up till now. First, the production quality is top-notch. The person credited as "the producer" (Danny Broussard) has finally captured the "feel" that this band has been needing. There are several re-makes of songs that this band recorded previously, when most of them were with "Key West-the band". But with the improved production, and an obvious re-thinking of the instrumentation, these remakes really are like new songs. Especially notable are "Tropical Girl", and "Makin' Waves". They did a fantastic job of updating those two.

Now for the best part of the album though. The five new songs recorded here are superb. The album opens with "Rum in Pensacola", which has has got "radio airplay" written all over it. It's a classic love song, with the Pensacola Beach as a backdrop. Mike Barnett's vocals, and Jerry Diaz's guitar solo at the end highlight this should-be hit. Another great new song is "Beer Drinkers and Sail Raisers". It's a catchy little song that you'll be humming all day after you hear it. As a sailor myself, I can tell you that this is sure to be an anthem for the sailing crowd, once it gets circulated.

The other new tunes include "Living Well", which is a great showcase for Diaz's lyrics. Funny stuff! Also included is another great sailing song "Local Knowledge". It is actually my favorite song on the album. It sounds like something that could have been on Buffett's "Son of a Son of a Sailor" album. And lastly, a mindless little summertime tune called "Fun in the Sun" shows that these guys must have listened to a few Beach Boys albums somewhere along the way.

If the American pop culture profile of French composer-jazz pianist Michel Legrand doesn't seem what it once was, don't be misled: his European indie film scores continue six decades on, now numbering nearly 200. But Legrand's most beloved work remains the lovely, evocative themes he created in the '60s and '70s, including "I Will Wait for You" from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Thomas Crown Affair's "Windmills of Your Mind," the theme from Summer of '42, and his work on Barbra Streisand's Yentl. This collection marks Legrand's first solo piano recordings, presenting those and other film score highlights in spontaneously improvised performances that offer a glimpse of Legrand's musical soul. If, as in "Windmills," his enthusiasm gets the best of him and he occasionally lapses into flights of melodramatic pianistic self-parody, there are more than enough sublime moments here to compensate, especially on lesser-known songs like Best Friends' "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" from The Happy Ending, and Brian's Song's "Hands of Time." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Michel Legrand.......2007-03-12

This is a great CD! Sound is awesome. I highly recommend it.

Sunlight on his fingertips.......2005-08-10

Sunlight on his fingertips

The very bright talent of Michele Legrand you can feel especially when Maestro is playing piano himself.

I heard some orchestra performance of Legrand before, that was good, but I was still thinking about him just like about pop music composer.

Now I think different - he is Genius!

all the stars you've got.......2005-01-29

Bill Evans once said that technique in jazz "is the ability to translate your ideas into sound through your instrument." If that's the case, Legrand possesses technique in spades.

Before commenting on this rewarding disc, a few words about Legrand himself:

Is there a better songwriter or a more versatile all-around musican alive today? I think you have to go back to people like Gershwin and Billy Strayhorn to find a rough parallel to Legrand's multifaceted, genre-crossing genius. A pupil of Nadia Boulanger (who studied with Faure and taught many important American composers, including Aaron Copland and Philip Glass), Legrand is an heir of the great French tradition of music--but one who has chosen to express himself through popular songs, film scores, and jazz. He possesses that rare combination of an absolutely rigorous theoretical knowledge of music and an intuitive, spontaneous instinct for both melody and improvisation. He combines exquisite refinement with a popular touch, a need to communicate directly with all who love music. To me, his work represents the most perfect expression of such typically French traits as lightness, insouciance, wit, melodic charm, and direct emotional expression since Poulenc.

Here you'll find many of Legrand's signature songs--"I Will Wait for You," "The Windmills of Your Mind," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?," "The Hands of Time," "You Must Believe in Spring," etc.--reharmonized and enriched in stunningly beautiful solo recreations. Those unfamiliar with Legrand's pianistic abilities will probably be surprised by what they hear, for he's no part-time piano tickler. He can easily hold his own in the company of the best modern jazz pianists. He has a wonderfully refined touch that is incapable of making a harsh sound and a profusive sense of fantasy that keeps you constantly guessing as to where the music will go next. Yet you always feel satisfied when you find out, because Legrand possesses a composer's comprehension of harmony and form. And his own style is in no way compromised by an occasional nod here and there toward Bill Evans, Erroll Garner, Rachmaninoff, and so on. (Please: disregard the Amazon reviewer's remark about "flights of melodramatic pianistic self-parody." It's called a stride chorus, and it's just one example of Legrand's surprising way of recasting these songs--and of his encyclopedic command of jazz styles.)

This disc represents the essence of Legrand. It really should have been recorded a long time ago, but the fact that it has captured his undiminished abilities as he enters his twilight years lends it an added poignance--a sense of "just in time!"--that makes it all the sweeter. If you're already a Legrand fan, it should be a self-recommending treasure, and if you're a fan of great piano playing or of sophisticated jazz treatments of great songs, odds are you'll find this a very rewarding disc indeed. For me, the highlight is this version of "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" in which every note seems inevitable--not at all an easy thing to make happen in an improvisation.

Miles Davis once said of a Duke Ellington recording, "Give that one all the stars you've got." That's the way I feel about this disc, and I thought that phrase "all the stars you've got" was appropriate because it almost sounds like the title of a Legrand song.

Maestro Legrand , at last !.......2004-10-10

Legrand has recorded at last one of his more intimate renditions to himself with his most remarkable themes along his brilliant career .
From a summer of 42 , The windmills of your mind (The Thomas crown afair) , what are you doing the rest of your life or the romantic Umbrellas of Cherbourg ; all those unforgettable themes are played in this album for piano solo in the real intimacy between him and the listener .
Legrand is the golden master of soundtracks in France and one of the top in the world . He owns that inner vision to catch the spirit of every movie he accompains . He composes music as he was a real director movie . The psychological concerns , the romantic efluvies and the precise and lyrical atmosphere , with that touch of class, artistic elegance and sublime eloquency .
Think also in the important recordings with Miles Davis . That issue will give you the size of that artist and anothe point to remark . In 1954 , Legrand made a golden jewel : I lvoe Paris (See my review) that has become through the years in the most famous and the best album of instrumental music ever recorded .
What other background do you need to acquire this gem ?

For Jazz piano purest... Only!.......2002-09-07

I love the music of Michele Legrand! It is a rich mixture of
graceful tones and notes, that create memories of a certain
time and place in each of our own lives.
When accompaned with great orchestration Its wonderful. When done in a jazz piano style, its not as good. Not to take anyting away from the talents of Mr Legrand as a pianist. Its just that like hearing a lusher, grander version of his music. So if you like jazz piano music, and Michele Legrand.
Then this is the cd for you!

If one needed an object lesson in the fickle nature of Hollywood and its precipitously shifting tastes, one could do worse than to examine the career of the songwriting brothers Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman. After inventing veritable swaths of Disney's musical theme park, TV, and film legacies in the '50s and '60s (including Zorro, The Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins, and The Jungle Book), the brothers found their talents largely underemployed in TV and film efforts after the death of Walt Disney. It isn't to say that their talents were in the least diminished, as this soundtrack to the 1976 U.K.-produced live-action adaptation of Cinderella ably attests. Fans of the Shermans' Disney canon should find this soundtrack restoration a welcome addition to their collections. The Shermans' music is a familiar, effervescent delight, even as it tackles the full emotional spectrum of romantic and familial entanglements, from Prince Edward's existential ponderings in "Why Can't I Be Two People?" through the king's Gilbert & Sullivan-esque take on royal bureaucracy in "Protocologically Correct" to the romantic pinings of "Secret Kingdom" and "He Danced with Me." The Slipper and the Rose is a musical cult favorite, and for good reason. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

I love this!.......2007-01-14

I love this soundtrack! If you are a fan of the movie, you will really enjoy this. There is only one disappointing thing about this soundtrack.

While all of the songs with words are there, most of the background music is missing. There is the overture and the waltz theme, but no other background music. I was particularly disappointed in the absence of the music from the wedding.

Despite this, I am very glad I have purchased this CD and high recommend it.

a wish come true.......2006-11-04

I'm so happy this soundtrack is no longer out of print. The movie is one of my favorite musicals and all the music from the movie is wonderful!

Memories Return.......2006-06-24

This has to be one of my favorite musicals. And that's saying something. I remember watching the movie with my mom when I was little. When I purchased and played the cd, that all came back. Mom and I busted out singing, "Protocoligorically correct", practically cracking up through half of it; and enjoying the romantic theme "He/she danced w/me"!
The sound recording was well pitched, loud enough to hear, and there wasn't anything fuzzy. This I was very grateful for. I look forward to one day playing it for my daughter so she'll enjoy it to.

Prince Charming and Cinderella.......2005-09-11

I know the beautiful movie and I wished to have the soundtrack. Now I bought it and I am happy. It is a great CD, the actors give the best and the music is very romantic. I recommend the CD.

EXHILARATING! ENERGETIC! ENCHANTING!.......2004-07-11

THE SLIPPER AND THE ROSE is a most EXHILARATING CD, with crisp, catchy, tunes that cause one's heart to be made cheerful! "Why Can't I Be Two People", "Protocologorically Correct", and "Position and Positioning", are songs that I have found marvelously ENERGIZING! I work in a stressful medical environment, and on a dreary day, I slipped this CD into the office CD player, to discover an amazingly, invigorating phenomenon. The stressed out office staff began whistling and humming the tunes....a few even danced down the halls of our clinic, which can be a bit disconcerting when you have specimens in both hands. As the employees got happier, attitudes and energy levels soared! It was exciting to watch the merriment as staff sang and danced along to "Suddenly It Happens", and "What A Comforting Thing To Know". The love songs sung by Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven, "Secret Kingdom", "He/She Danced With Me", and "I Can't Forget The Melody", are hauntingly romantic songs, guaranteed to ENCHANT even the hardest heart. This is one of my favorite CD's of all time. The Sherman Brothers outdid themselves; creating a masterpiece that EXHILARATES, ENERGIZES, ENCHANTS.......and occasionally, on a dreary, stressful day, causes the heavy hearts of listeners, to be transformed and ultimately to transcend.

Back to when I believed in fairy tales...........2002-09-30

If you could, just for a moment, return to the days when fairy godmothers were real, when you really could turn four white mice into four white horses - then just buy this CD for a few smiles, a lot of memories, and the original Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes. This CD took me way back to when magic was there, and now it makes me wonder, everytime I listen to it, if maybe the magic isn't still there? Maybe I should just call on my fairy godmother..... A true heirloom of a CD.

The Glass Slipper Fits!.......2001-04-21

This is an excellent compilation of songs that express the longings, fears and exuberance of the Cinderella story. Rather than just relying of the romantic side of the myth, producer Bruce Kimmel adds depth to the story by including songs from The Slipper and The Rose and Sondheim's Into the Woods as well as the Disney and Roger & Hammerstein Cinderella versions.

When Susan Egan plans her strategy in "Promise Him Anything" and Pamela Winslow expresses her fear in "On the Steps of the Palace," the listener becomes aware of Cinderella's human side. Likewise, when Christa Moore shares her fantasy world "In My Own Corner" and Christina Noll expresses her thrill of her dream coming true in "Impossible/Suddenly It Happens," the listener is reminded of the powerful message of Cinderella's theme: dreams DO come true.

Fortunately, the compilation does not exclude humor as well. "The Stepsister's Lament" by Farah Alvin and Alet Oury is hilariously poignant; the lyrics "Why would a fellow want a girl like her? A frail and frocky beauty!" could be the alltime wallflowers' lament. And Jonathan Freeman's "What Has Love Got to Do with Getting Married?" is a droll piece of practical cynicism to his Prince son. (The song reminds me of the film Moonstruck. When Olympia DuKakis asks her daughter Cher, "Do you love him?" When Cher answered affirmatively, her mother muttered, "That's bad.")

Also, the musical bridges add to the suspense of the Cinderella story. "Midnight", "The Ball," and "If The Shoe Fits" from Prokofiev's ballet are beautifully orchestrated and remind the listener that the Cinderella myth is adaptable for many forms of entertainment.

I was a little disappointed that "So This is Love" and "The Work Song" was not included, but I guess I'm partial to the Disney version. The 1950 cartoon was my first introduction to Cinderella, and to my delight, my nephew enjoyed it as well thirty years later.

Nevertheless, this CD shows the timeless appeal of the Cinderella myth. Its beauty, humor and suspense is contained here in this magnificent collection.

Magical collection fit for a princess!.......1999-04-13

I was thrilled to come across this collection. One of my favorite movies, The Slipper and the Rose, had been out of print for many years. This CD includes 4 of the songs from that movie and though not by the original artists, just as good. The songs range from the whimsical to the romantic to a few comic gems, all from various stage and film Cinderella scores. "Tell Him Anything" from the Slipper and the Rose, a powerful song filled with longing and despair is sung movingly by Susan Egan, a nice change of pace from the cheerier, more sparkling numbers.

The score from Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is so charming and catchy it's fun to hear it again by new artists. The performers, all apparently Broadway singers (?), are all beautifully performed with exuberance and style. The orchestration is lush and appropriate to the material.

Fabuloso!!!! A must have!!!!.......1998-08-11

This is an AWESOME cd. It has songs from the original Rodgers and Hammerstein version, the Disney version, and Into the Woods. This is a faboulos collection of songs. Definetly buy it. NOW!!!!!

After several recordings of American popular music, Te Kanawa has become a very effective crooner, phrasing with heretofore missing panache. The easy, jazzy Riddle-like arrangements are bouncy and appealing. But after 15 selections, the mysterious dissatisfaction of eating Chinese food and feeling hungry an hour later remains. Tunick writes in his program notes that "the waltz ballads ... are poignant and moving, but never stray into sentimentality." But why not? A little mushiness would serve this recording well, and also contribute to a desperately lacking variety of interpretation. Still, the voice is consistently gorgeous; it would just be nice to distinguish the happy songs from the sad. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

Irving Berlin at his best.......2007-06-26

Kiri's glorious voice interprets Irving Berlin masterpieces beautifully with expression and respect for these American favorites.

Get's my vote!.......2004-04-03

OK. Full disclosure: I'm one of those helpless souls who is just madly in love with the sounds that emanate from Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's vocal chords. I suppose there are many artists who can interpret Irving Berlin's songs with more, what's the word, authenticity?

And I've heard many of them, and I love their work.

But Kiri Te Kanawa is different. She was given one of the most beautiful instruments in the history of sound recordings. Thank God the recording companies figured out what they had and put her in front of a microphone early and often.

We have had a rare opportunity to experience a great artist from almost the start of her career clear through to what now must be it's final stages.

I, for one, feel privileged.

Thank you, Dame Kiri. The world is a little better place because of you.

Jazzy and Beautiful.......2002-09-01

This album exemplifies Kiri's amazing, vast dose of talent for musical interpretation. Though I tend to enjoy mostly classical music, this album has opened doors to a wonderful world of classical-jazz, which I find quite beautiful! Perhaps for some, it is an aquired taste...yet I was hooked the moment I heard track one...and have since become quite the "modern Kiri" fan!~Brava once again~

I love it!.......2002-05-14

If you like Irving Berlin and Kiri Te Kanawa you'll probably enjoy this album as much as I do!

I can imagine Nick and Nora Charles listening to this at one of Nick's favorite dives! It will transport you to a sophisticated time and place that may have never existed except in literature and debutante coming out parties.

Gatsby would have loved it, and surely would have invited Kiri to all his parties!

Simply Dreadful.......2001-01-17

Just terrible! Although her voice has mellowed and is quite beautiful, Ms Te Kanawa has absolutely no instinct or feel for this distinctly American music. She's just lost in her own peculiar Kiwi wonderland. She is not aided but what have to be some of the worst arrangements of this music ever recorded.

Is it surprising that a master of German art song would produce a jazz album? Not if he's Thomas Quasthoff, who has sung jazz since his university days and maintains an infectious enthusiasm for it. From breezily light baritone to sexy bass (he rumbles very comfortably around low F), Quasthoff totally adapts his sound to the music's needs, confidently attacking certain notes "white" before adding vibrato. The American "r" - so difficult for foreign artists - does draw undue attention, as do certain vowel sounds, but otherwise Quasthoff's delivery of English is convincing. He sings much of the music comparatively "straight" (one frequently wishes he'd indulge in some really off-the-wall improvisation), but he definitely knows his way around this material. Highlights are a cool "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," a jaunty "Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive," and especially haunting versions of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" and Duke Ellington's "In My Solitude." Very enjoyable, too, is the growling conclusion of Stevie Wonder's "You and I." Quasthoff is supported by a strong ensemble, including Germany's most gifted jazz trumpeter, Till Brönner, and the excellent pianist Alan Broadbent. The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchestra, however, brings an unwelcome "101 Strings""flavor to six numbers. --Roger Pines

Wallowing in the worst register of his voice..........2007-06-06

Thomas Quasthoff must have reached a certain benchmark in sales at Deutsche Grammophon to be allowed this indulgence, another unnecessary crossover CD from a media-feted classical singer.

Oy, but a great classical singer he's not. And he's even a worse jazz singer. As this collection shows, he has listened to his Ella Fitzgerald records faithfully enough to imitate her breathy, conversational delivery in the middle register, while lacking her innate sense of coloring and rubato. His is a dull, foursquare delivery, which he consciously tries to loosen by issuing a pathetic growl now and then to prove he's gettin' down. And just the SOUND of his voice, its timbre, in this conversational register is patently unpleasant. As mentioned above, his overcompensation with r's and with certain vowels makes his delivery even more studied and stilted.

However, when he soars above the staff, as he does in "You and I," his voice gains considerably in power and beauty. This happens all too infrequently, unfortunately.

The song program contains some real clunkers, such as "Secret Love," "There's a Boat That's Leavin' Soon for New York," and the execrable "My Funny Valentine." Just compare Thom's "What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" to Barbra's (from the "Way We Were" album) to see how straight and uninspired our German friend's rendition is. "In My Solitude" is almost unlistenable.

To this CD's credit, I must compliment the luscious, clear sound of the recording and the judiciously crafted orchestral arrangements. Ultimately, though, this is just another one of those vocal crossover albums that will end up in the cut-out bins with scores of others already gathering dust.

Good job Quasthoff!.......2007-05-30

Is your opinion that classical singers can't sing jazz?
Being a classical singer my self I know how hard it can be to sing jazz.
Quasthoff proves with this CD that he is a true musician and separates the two different ways of singing very well.

Simply wonderful!.......2007-03-20

Being a great admirer of T. Quasthoff in his classical performance and a jazz lover, I didn't hesitate to order this cd. Moreover, the jazz impro bonus on The Voice let me think that Mr Quasthoff's voice could match perfectly the jazz style. The result is beyond the expectations. Mr Quasthoff sings these jazz standards as if he had done that all his life long, and the result is astonishing. It is even further enhanced by the great recording! So, order this CD without hesitation....

Not jazz.......2007-03-11

Quasthoff has a phenomenal voice, but he should keep his day job. He is not a jazz singer. Although this may be some German idea of jazz, it isn't jazz, and the musicians do not seem to understand jazz at all. The songs are not sung or played like jazz, and many of the songs are nowhere near jazz at all. If "Secret Love" is jazz, Doris Day must be Billie Holiday in disguise. This is a novelty piece, but one listening is a gracious plenty; I stopped sooner.

Thomas Quasthoff shines once again, & sounds just like a Rat-Packer!.......2007-02-23

I have most of the superb Thomas Quasthoff's albums, and am always interested in hearing him do different music. Singing these jazz numbers, he sounds just like a member of the Rat Pack! He always sings authentically, and always with great originality. In this jazz album, Mr. Quasthoff sings with no trace of a German accent, and he captures the style and razzle-dazzle of these songs. The liner notes indicate that these songs were selected to form a song cycle of the artist's own emotional experiences.

My favorites are the Stevie Wonder song "You and I" and "They All Laughed." Other composers featured are George Gershwin, Michel Legrand, Duke Ellington, Rodgers and Hart, and others. There is a mix of the upbeat and humorous (Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive, Can't We Be Friends, They All Laughed), and the more reflective and serious (Smile, In My Solitude).

There is quite a bit of artistry involved in the interpretations here. For example, in Duke Ellington's "In my Solitude," there is disturbing and eerie quality, particularly in the instrumental section following the line "I know that I'll soon go mad." Special mention must be made of the outstanding instrumental contributions, the excellent Till Bronner on trumpet and Alan Broadbent on piano, as well as the back up orchestra, which is essential to the interpretations (such as in the Duke Ellington, mentioned above).

This entire album is masterfully sung by Mr. Quasthoff in his own unique style. I highly recommend this album, as I do all his other albums. I only wish that Thomas Quasthoff would begin recording albums of all his current concerts, such as Brahm's Die Schone Magelone, and Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. Much of the public, myself included, can never get enough of this voice and more albums.

Customer Reviews:

Le Grand Legend.......2001-10-03

Legendary musician, pianist and composer Michel Legrand brings an incredible depth of understanding, feeling and passion to the production of this great CD. The intensity of Laura's brilliant performance is beautifully countered by the soft lyrical playing of Michel on piano. Laura manages to capture the magic moment romantically. As the title suggest, we are given a taste of all the different collaborations Michel went through in his exceptional career as a pianist, generating very different moods. This CD is not only a collection of great compositions of Michel, like, 'The summer knows', 'The windmills of your mind', and 'Ask yourself why' but is also a testimony to the abundant talent of Laura in her unique interpretation of 'The first time', 'You had to be there' and of course 'Rachel' - A splendid composition written by Michel especially for Laura. BIG in every sense of the work this must count amongst Laura's finest work. A gem of a CD.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??.......2001-03-07

It usually takes several listening sessions for me to establish a liking for an lesser known singer, but once I realized Legrand did the arranging, I figured this CD has to be top notch and classy! Where has this singer been?? Her singing is superb and soothing -- just perfect for that candlelight dinner or that snuggle-up-to-me type moment. Legrand never ceases to amaze, and his earlier works with Lena Horne, Nancy Wilson (live!), and Stephan Grappelli are knockout performances. All song arrangements here are lush and dreamy...nothing "torchy" here. The best "mood" disc to come around in a long time - just amazed that it took me 4 years after its release to discover it.

Laura sure has a sweet voice and more.......2000-12-17

This will be the first Laura Fygi cd for me to buy. I pretty much knew what to expet from her, because I had heard her songs played on the radio a lot. Lauras' voice has sure been everything I had hoped for.

L.F. has a very pleasent and smooth voice. I never seems to loose it balance and texture. I guess you could say that she has the voice of an ANGEL. It is one that will please most music fans.

The only draw back to this cd was the song selection. She sang Michel Legrand songs which I thought was ok, but I never felt like he had that many hits that I truley liked. As far a Lauras' voice goes it is definately a "ten".

Recommendation: I think this will be a cd that you can enjoy.

Wonderful Brazilian music !!.......2000-10-27

As a Brazilian I love this CD because Laura Fygi give us a wonderful collection of Brazilian music. Her portuguese is perfect. I don't know how she can sing the lirics in Portuguese with no accent!! Corcovado, Dindi, Triste, If you went away, How insensitive,Oh telephone are a small sample of our songs and Laura Fygi has a special way to sing it. and her portuguese interpretation for "All of me" is fabulous. It CD deserve five stars.

Rediscover your Legrand.......1999-11-23

The velvet voice of L. Fygi, so human and so exact and academic the same time, and light jazzeous moods of Legrans' himself arrangements make these compilation the best chrestomatic of Michelle Legrand's songs. When you listen to these very familiar songs some of wich were sung by famous B. Steisand et al, you discover new layers of these creations thanks to enourmous artistic talant of Fygi.

Although not as hipster-sanctioned as kindred spirits Elliott Smith and Mary Lou Lord, this long, lanky singer/songwriter inhabits similar territory, unspooling smart, seductive tales that are alternately guileless and knowing. As a teenager, Dunnery fronted prog-rock outfit It Bites, but there's little of that pomp in evidence on his solo records--although the clever arrangements do include colorful snippets of brass, accordion, and even mellotron. This, his first outing since leaving the major label ranks, is probably Dunnery's most incisive collection yet, with sardonic gems like "Crazy Is a Pitstop" and "Give Up Your Day Job" guaranteed to elicit a double-take with every listen. --David Sprague

A rare, beautifully off-beat album full of positive vibes........1998-10-25

It's not often an artist is caught on tape in such fine form. 'Lets go do what happens' is a little inaccessable at first, but on further listening explodes into a beautifully constructed sound-scape. this his third album sees Francis mature; taking a more witty experimental approach in tracks like 'Crazy as a Pitstop' & 'Give up your day job'. The songs are weighted with complex layered sounds and an infectious positive message - the perfect antidote to an attack of the blues. Listening to 'Revolution' you get a real sense of sincerity on the artists part, through a mix of clever lyric and an emotional delivery. This is an album with a Lennonesque message for the 90's, to love yourself, believe in yourself and be yourself. This man has talent. Francis Dunnery has always been known for his exceptional skill on guitar, on 'Lets go do what happens' he shows us he is also a skilled singer/songwriter. I just can't wait to see what he'll come up with next. Buy it now.

Trust in Yourself.......1998-06-22

This album did not live up to my expectations. Instead it hurdled me full-throttle into a new realm of consciousness.

Grasping for words to express the beauty of this album, I'm left to just say that Francis Dunnery knows his s***. Without a dull moment, Dunnery takes the listener on a wild ride to the moon and beyond life and death with a dazzling array of musical styles and grooves.

Dunnery is not shy about making Music That Matters. While most artists that attempt this come off as snobish, Dunnery's confession-style wit is delivered without a trace of pretense. The message, is overwhelmingly "you are what you believe you are." To Dunnery, misery is optional, and this emphasis on spirituality is terrifically infectious. The message is aptly mixed with unusual imagery to keep you listening and entertained.

Do yourself a favor and go get this album.

Dunnery loses his edge.......1998-06-10

Perhaps you can either make great music or grow older and get comfortable with yourself. The latest release by Dunnery, the gifted British songwriter/guitarist, positively reeks of contentment and self-acceptance. Witness this line from "Perfect Shape" - "I want you by my side to throw that perfect shape inside of me . . . together, together, together, so we can be free". Those familiar with "Tall Blonde Helicopter," his brilliant 1995 release, should prepare themselves for some initial disappointment.

Unfathomably, the disc leads off with some of the hardest yet weakest tracks. The intent seems to be to position Dunnery as a commercially viable pop guitarist. The result is to demonstrate how hard it will be for the man who wrote "I Don't Want To Be Alternative" to grow beyond the noncommercial niche he has created for himself. The music stands up fairly well, but the lyrics are derivative and unengaging, creating an artistic imbalance. On second thought, maybe it does stand a chance of commercial success.

Not until the fourth track, " Crazy is a Pitstop," does Dunnery display the combination of quirky lyricism and high-energy musicianship that defined "Helicopter".

"Jonah," a passable if uninspired ballad, is followed up by the goofy and airy "Riding on the Back." The disc really takes off with "I'95," a guitar-driven rocker that offers Dunnery at his best - a raw, accessible sound with infectious riffs and lyrics worth your attention.

The rest of the disc balances articulate, straightforward ballads such as "Crazy Little Heart of Mine," "Home in my Heart" and "Revolution" with the existential rocker, "Whoever Brought me Here" and the Zappaesque "Give Up your Day Job," a delightfully anarchic tune that will have you smiling if not laughing out loud.

Those unfamiliar with Dunnery should first pick up "Helicopter," if only to experience the ! edge that he's lost on the new one. As Dunnery writes in "I'95," "What's the point of hanging onto an image of yourself. I question my redemption and I knew you'd have to go, `cause the story about the struggle of my life is completely over." Let's just hope his days of consistently brilliant songwriting aren't over as well.

I heard a cut from Sheri Petta and enjoyed it so I ordered her only album and have played it over and over. She is gifted with a silky smooth syrupy voice - a torch singer with soul and perfect pitch - a real find.

Sherry Petta's music resonates with a fresh new sound. Her voice is clear and clean...reminds me of listening to jazz in a hot club, but without any smoky haze... a contemporary sound for today. I have given Sherry's CD as a gift to many friends and they all enjoy listening to it over and over again. The lilt in Sherry's voice is just charming. Buy this CD today for hours of listening pleasure.

You must buy this CD. While visiting Arizona recently, I heard a song from this CD on the radio. I figured the singer was some famous person, and then I heard the DJ say it was from an "upcoming star". Well he was right. This woman can sing! All of the songs put you in a calm, relaxing, and "feel good" state of mind. In short, Sherry Petta's music is magical! I highly recommend it.

Cathie Ryan sings with a tragic heart. Her flawless soprano never tightens into stiff professionalism. Instead it wraps itself around notes, wrenching experience from an age-old form. Her repertoire, while a mix of soft originals, aged traditional Irish ballads, and newer songs from songwriters she admires, tends to picture the world in difficult yet hopeful terms. Her second album features Gerry O'Beirne's compact reading of modern politics and private love, "The Lights of San Francisco," and Dick Farrelly's "We Dreamed Our Dreams," which works a haunting melody around a lyric of a lost promise of love. Seamus Egan's spotless production highlights Michael Aharon's sympathetic piano, a web of acoustic guitars, and, of course, Ryan's voice, presented most starkly in the near a cappella "Erin's Lovely Home." --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

lasting work.......2006-06-18

"No one can do what she is doing..." wrote a listener who reviewed this disc in 1999. Seven years on, that's still true. The only one who has matched Ryan since is she herself in subsequent recordings. Reading over the reviews and comments, it seems each has a different favorite. I'll add Lament of the Three Marys and I'm Going Back, the first a traditional song Ryan sings in Irish and the second a song she wrote, a spare and clear evocation of the situations of leaving and returning to Ireland. Those who like Emmylou Harris, Mary Black, and Kathy Mattea should check out Ryan's work, on this and her other recordings.

Wonderful Voice.. and more........2005-03-10

I bought this CD when I saw her play the Irish Music Festival a few years ago.. I fell in love with the music there.. enough so that I went to all 3 days of the festival, and stayed even when it started to pour. I would like to get the other CD's as well, but this one was a great one to start with. All it's missing is the stories she adds when she is performing.

A must for Celtic Music collectors..........2004-11-29

Cathie Ryan has a pure, clear soprano that's one of the most powerful and evocative voices I have heard since Joan Baez. Her collection addresses everything from Ireland to lost love. Not a bad song in the bunch.

I have seen Cathy Ryan in concert twice, in a small outdoor setting, and she was wonderful. She has a beautiful voice although she seems to think that Irish women are shy and retiring. I've never met any like that! Both of her CD's are well worth buying, as well as her work with Cherish the Ladies.
