5.0 out of 5 stars Isn't It Romantic?, February 19, 2000

This review is from: Less Is More (Audio CD)

I purchased this album after hearing the title cut just once on the local jazz station here in Denver, it was that good. Ms. Bennett's voice is like cool silk, i.e., it feels good, but gets you all heated up. When she says "I'll be your wife" on the title track, you want her to be saying it to you. Her best songs on this album are the ones she wrote herself, particularly "Drifting" (the first few chords of the song are electric) and the title track, but "Feels Like a Heartbreak" and "You Never Saw Me Dance" are great cuts as well. The lyrics of these songs seem simple but are never trivial, and are always original. E.g., "Walk through life, suffer fools, handed junk, but fought for the jewels..." Buy the CD already, what are you waiting for?

"Less is More" is a promise fulfilled. I especially liked Chris's sensitive treatment of "Dindi" . . . she has a remarkable voice and ear for both her originals and covers! I highly recommend this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very romantic! Contemporary jazz at it's finest!, February 14, 1999

Jazz Times gave this C.D. a rave review, and Bird compared Chris Bennett to Morgana King. Sultry vocals, beautiful, sparse arrangements. Dindi with Wayne Johnson and Bobbye Hall is a classic. Beautiful C.D.!!
