PURE JAZZ AT IT'S BEST, September 29, 2000
This review is from: Miss Gloria Lynne (Audio CD)
GLORIA PRESENTS ONLY 12 SONGS ON THIS WONDERFUL CD, BUT HER VOICE RADIATES THROUGHOUT EACH WITH APPEALING COMMANDS OF SCALES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. SHE, AS USUAL, HAUNTS A MELODY, ABOVE, BELOW AND IN-BETWEEN AND THE MUSIC SOARS AROUND HER EVERY BECKONING CALL. LISTEN TO JUNE NIGHT AND ONE FEELS THE WARMTH OF A JOYFUL MOON RIDING A COOL BREEZE. APRIL IN PARIS, WITH IT'S REPEATS BY GLORIA TRANSPORTS ONE IMMEDIATELY TO SIDE WALK CAFES IN THAT GLORIOUS CITY OF JAZZ LORE. STORMY MONDAY IS A THUMPING BLUES RENDITION WITH GREAT PIANO WORK MIMICKING HARD RAIN AND ROLLING THUNDER. EACH OF THE OTHER SONGS PROVIDE THEIR OWN MOMENTS OF SHEER DELIGHT. A DOZEN GEMS BY A RARE DIAMOND WHOSE VOICE TODAY IS JUST AS VIBRANT AS THESE EARLY CUTS. INDEED THIS IS PURE JAZZ AT IT'S BEST... WITH A SINGER WHO RIVALS THE GREAT ELLA AND SARAH, AND BEST OF ALL CAN STILL BE SEEN LIVE. TREAT YOUR SELF, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.
