4.0 out of 5 stars
Sensuous jazz vocals, June 26, 2006
This review is from: Nothing But Pearls (Audio CD)
I've never been to Louisiana, but I've been to New Orleans. The trip was quick and easy -- I just slipped this CD from Adrian Rose into the stereo and suddenly southcentral Pennsylvania was far, far away. I was sitting in a small jazz club, dark and smoky, sipping bourbon as Adrian poured her heart into the room.
The CD, "Nothing But Pearls," is a postcard from jazz, doing well, wish you were here. Adrian sings from her timeless core, sultry and flirtatious with a slice of heartbreak, equal parts Clara Bow and Macy Gray. The album's title is reflected in the cover and various photos in the liner notes, which could be rated PG-13. Adrian isn't shy and she wears her pearls well -- but there's a story behind them, explained briefly but colorfully in the sparse text.
"Nothing But Pearls" will make a jazz lover of anyone. Book your audio journey to New Orleans now!
