The Centerpiece Of This Cd Is Mr. Curtis Stigers Wonderful Voice!! He Has Hit The Mark With This Great Jazz Cd. Stand Out Songs Are, "Marie","Everything Happens To Me", "I Keep Going Back To Joe's" & The Great Title Track. Buy This Cd If You Enjoy Jazz, Sung By Someone Who Knows How!!! Looking Forward To His Next Cd!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb jazz debut from Curtis Stigers, October 17, 2001

This review is from: Baby Plays Around (Audio CD)

As a keen Curtis Stigers fan for many years, I was at first surprised that he would record a jazz album at all. With an initially meteoric pop career, it seemed to me that Mr. Stigers' market still lay in soulful pop. I would have thought that the commercial limitations of jazz might have further restricted his profile to the wide audience he truly deserves. However, what an absolute scorcher of an album 'Baby Plays Around'actually is.
His superb vocals provide a really fresh feel to a beautifully crafted selection of top notch straightahead jazz.

Curtis Stigers (singer/songwriter) has gathered a talented jazz-musician backup...featuring Randy Brecker (trumpet), Christian Minh Doky (bass), Larry Goldings (piano), Dennis Irwin (bass), Adam Nussbaum (drums) and Bill Stewart (drums)...makes his latest release with Concord, destined to be a hit with the jazz enthusiasts.

Of course there are some stand outs ~ "BUT NOT FOR ME", "LET'S GET LOST" and "ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE", these standards are timeless, as Stigers gives his heartfelt renditions...but the highlights are two new songs "LOVE" and "BABY PLAYS AROUND", blends soul and jazz into one lingering melody, uniting passion into every lyric.

Total Time: 55:59 on 13 Tracks ~ Concord Jazz CCD-4944-2 ~ (2001)
