5.0 out of 5 stars Unheard Aretha, April 18, 2004

This album is worth every penny paid, just for its recording of "Somewhere". In this one recording, more than any other recording I have ever heard, Ms Franklin exposes in the most achingly naked way, the plaintive sense of longing and dispair from hopes unrealized, but never really given up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece!!!!!!, January 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Aretha's Jazz (Audio CD)

Aretha's Jazz is a great title through and through. It's a little different from her early stuff. It's a swinging,bluesy,jazzy and soulful title. I believe her when she sings "I'll hold up the sky"(for his love) in the song "Crazy He Calls Me". The swinging rendition of the Sam Cooke song Bring It On Home can be played over and over again. I truly enjoy all of the songs, however my favorites on this title are "Today I Sing The Blues" and "Just Right Tonight".Don't pass this title by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grossly Underrated, June 17, 2000

This review is from: Aretha's Jazz (Audio CD)

I think that anyone who has ever listened to Aretha Franklin should buy this CD. It should be a joy to hear for old fans of hers and new listeners as well. It's unlike anything she's ever done and yet she seems to master every song.
