Simply Excellent,
By Marcus (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian Stokes Mitchell (Audio CD)
Thank God we finally have an inventive and imaginative solo album by a Broadway artist. These are NOT the cookie cutter versions of these songs that we love so much. These are brand new arrangements, most by Brian Stokes Mitchell himself. They are smart, immersive interpretations of this music, and Brian is able to demonstrate the full range of his talents here. There is more to life, and singing, than simply belting out one standard after another, and Brian Stokes Mitchell delivers here. Buy it.

Dismayed!,
By Music Lover "Music Lover" (Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian Stokes Mitchell (Audio CD)
I am so dismayed by the amount of negative reviews of this cd. An artist does not have to maintain the exact same style from show to show and cd to cd. Since this is his first release that is not from a show, he had every right to take liberties w/ production, style, etc....and the result is a breath of fresh air and a slick and soothing sound. He possesses such a great tone and delivery to his voice and I look forward to many more! It's sad that people that can call themselves fans can be so quick to put someone down.......not a fan.....more a fairweather type.

Brian Stokes Mitchell's First Solo Album,
By Judith Williams "Judy" (Petaluma, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian Stokes Mitchell (Audio CD)
If you are expecting the new Brian Stokes Mitchell album to be the ordinary renditions of standard show tunes this may not be the album for you. This album has original and innovative jazz renditions of some show tunes. Some are playful and fun with nuanced humor as in `The Best Is Yet to Come' and `Just in Time'. He uses the power and versatility of his deep baritone in the excellent rendition of `How Long Has This Been Going On'. The least interesting track is `Something's Coming' as it is the closest to the original version.
His voice is a fine-honed instrument with amazing versatility, control, power and range, and he knows how to use it for maximum influence on these tracks. The songs are sung with the feeling and emotion for which Stokes is known. The arrangements, most of which are done by himself, are brilliant. He is an innovative jazz interpreter and we are fortunate to have him turn his many talents in this direction. Let's hope there are many more albums to follow.
