5.0 out of 5 stars A Marvelous Must-Have!, September 10, 2003

Wow! This CD is truly inspired from beginning to end. Diane's 'signature song' "Hello, Haven't I Seen You Before" is riddled with a new jazzy energy. "Comes Love" is a sultry vocal with a salsa-jazz arrangement. "Benediction" is an amazing tribute to Cannonball Adderly. Diane's phrasing on "Detour Ahead" is genius. "Nine" strikes a mood of idealism and promise. "When Morning Comes" is vocally extraordinary! The piano of David Torkanowsky sets musical magic to the arrangements. But this work doesn't just stop there. Added artists include George Duke, Joshua Redman, Roy Hargrove, Hubert Laws, Luis Conte, and Everette Harp, to name a few. Absolutely, one of Dianne Reeve's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Album, January 19, 2000

Dianne Reeves is one of my favorite singers. This album is one of her best. I like it so much because it combines lots of different musical styles and still holds itself together as an "album". This one is right behind Dianne's "Art & Survival" album as one of my favorites (by the way, "Art & Survival" is nowhere to be found on Amazon....)

Dianne is sexy and jazzy with COMES LOVE and WHEN MORNING COMES. She does an incredible interpretation of BOTH SIDES NOW -- you can really feel her act/sing the lyric on this one. NINE is a great childhood song that has a driving, fun arrangement. And IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD is Dianne's take on a classic tune.

Dianne Reeves sings with such emotion. She has a distinctive jazzy technique, but also has a way with a lyric. Her song selections have always impressed me.

Enjoy this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!!!, May 22, 2001

This is one CD that I have just about wore out. She masters these songs as only she can. I love the way she turned one of her own popular songs (Haven't I seen you before)around with a big band feel. Her cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" just makes you want to melt. The entire album is a must have. I worked a 16 hour day re-merchandising a a store with this CD carring me through the last 5 hours and I still wanted to listen.
