A Breath of Fresh Air,
By Crumbly (Madison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mister Rogers Swings! (Audio CD)
Although I'm an avid music listener and record collector, let me start by saying that vocal jazz is not my thing. This recording, however, is like a breath of fresh air -- it's surprisingly good and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys easy-listening/vocal jazz.
Most people would never recognize these songs as coming from Fred Roger's decade-spanning children's PBS program. No matter -- the songs and arrangements are high quality and Ms Yarbrough's voice-- a bit reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald-- is perfect for these refreshingly simple, heartfelt lyrics and lovely melodies.

Holly Yarbrough Mister Rogers Swings!,
By
This review is from: Mister Rogers Swings! (Audio CD)
It sounds crazy at first - sincere jazz versions of songs from "Mister Rogers"? But trust me, on Mister Rogers Swings! (Vintage Discs), Holly Yarbrough is Ella Fitzgerald teleported into the age of Gwen Stefani. Her angelic voice and perfect phrasing shine through on tracks like It's You I Like and Look & Listen. Yarbrough's take on Many Ways to Say I Love You is so timeless; you could imagine your grandparents slow-dancing to this back in the day. As real jazz goes, it does not get any better than this.
