How to waste a one-in-a-million talent, September 21, 2009
This review is from: Didn't We//in a Different Bag (Audio CD)
Lorez Alexandria is one of the most underrated singers in American Jazz History. She had a fantastic voice, so much feeling in her readings and could swing like mad. For some reasons, she never received the recognition she deserved. This CD contains her two late 60s albums for PZAZZ records. With some exceptions ("I'm Wishin'", "Help Me",) this is no 'must have'. Too many confusing Jive/Blues/Rock etc.etc.etc. arrangements, too much end 60s-Sarah Vaughan or Roberta Flack style singing, especially on the second album. She should have followed her own greatness, no need for her to copy any other style. Compare this to "Alexandria, The Great", her '64 IMPULSE! album--and you know what I mean.
