5.0 out of 5 stars Great music takes a back seat, October 2, 2003

This is a fabulous CD!!! I think music like this unfortunately takes a back seat to all the other "splashy" material that bombards us today. I am not sure it will ever get its recognition due. I think many times artists like Ms. Schuur need to find other venues in which to promote their music. The mainstream tastes of today just don't seem to appreciate it.
Maybe thinking "outside of the box" on promoting music is becoming a needed requirement for many artists. Barry Manilow has a rare talent for the feel of producing music almost more than performing...........his instincts are impeccable, if you are a jazz lover, it is a must........if you sit on the fence with jazz this will convert you........the lyrics to "What is Love", I am in agreement with the previous post that it has a classic Gershwin sound that you just don't find in modern written lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed, August 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Midnight (Audio CD)

Beautifully written and produced album. Smooth, romantic, lush jazz arrangements that will carry you away. Nice to see such clever, sophisticated, emotional lyric writing, most notably "Stay Away From Bill", "Life Is Good", "What Is Love" and "When October Goes". It's also nice (and rare nowadays) to own a new album you won't need to press "skip" during.

These songs have an American Standard feel to them and some have the potential to endure with the likes of "But Not For Me" and "The Thrill Is Gone". Most particularly Panzer/Manilow's "Life Is Good".

Diane Schuur's voice is as captivating, powerful and mesmerizing as ever.

If you're looking for a great classic album to add to your collection, I wouldn't miss "Midnight".

DIANE SCHUUR is the real thing !

In an age of media hyped jazz vocalists, DIANE SCHUUR quietly demonstrates how one can beautifully produce & create a wonderful jazz CD without much fanfare and pop interventions.
Her vocals are classy and right on the money.

This CD is destined to be listed as a true classic in the JAZZ arena. It should receive several GRAMMY NOMINATIONS in the Jazz catagory at this year's ceremonies.
Even if you are not a maniac of jazz music, you will fall for the simple production of this CD. The lady is a classy vocal talent. This is a CD that you will play over and over again.
