This is a tough review to write. I read about this CD in both local papers (SF Chronicle, SJ Mercury), had heard Miller on KCSM--maybe even the same concert the sparked this album, so I had high expectations. Sky high expectations.

Natasha Miller has a grand instrument and the Bobby Sharp songbook has some nifty songs in it. But Miller is not the second coming of Sarah Vaughn. The disc is well produced, but the result is not quite the ecstatic experience advertised. On the other hand, when was the last time you heard straight, ungimicky singing like this? Awhile, probably.

If you like jazz and ballads and a very good singer, this is an outstanding album, even *the* outstanding album that I've heard this year. You won't be disappointed, since the material is neither derivative or overtly commercial. Miller's voice carries you along and so... recommended. Strongly.

I like all of the songs that Natasha sings in her cd "I had a feelin". Last week I had friends come over and I played the cd. They all said "What beautiful music. I told them I personally know this woman. They said "How's that?" Well, One day when I was filming a wedding at the B of A building in S.F. I met her, chatted with her and filmed while she was singing. I thought then that she was good but listening to her cd "I had a feelin" confirmed my opinion even more. I think anyone that buy's this cd will definitely enjoy every single one of her songs. I also have other Cd's sang by her which are also good, but I like this one best so far.
