5.0 out of 5 stars Don't forget Clarence Clemons!, March 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Swing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I'm the director of the film that this soundtrack is taken from. I'm biased about the music of course, Lisa and Ian did amazing work on it. What no one has mentioned is the phenomenal contribution from the very great Clarence Clemons, his sax stuff on this album is truly wonderful and quite unexpected. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The British can really swing with the best, January 9, 2000

Lisa Stansfield proves that she can move from one musical genre to another with ease. It's good to see that a British artist in the 1990's can produce an album of swing that will be enjoyed by many in the next millennium. Her version of 'Mack the Knife' is the best by a woman that I have heard

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Swing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Lisa Stansfield's name is listed above the title and there's a reason why: she sings about 10 of the 15 songs, and she really does quite a good job, considering her singing style is better suited to R&B/Pop than swing (which is why this doesn't get 5 stars); still, she shines on such numbers as "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" and "Ain't What You Do". (She has a hand in writing several of this CD's selections.)As a whole, this is pretty much a fully-realized production -- not a bad choice in the bunch! The band's pretty tight, the singing's fine and a great amount of fun and care obviously went into it -- it shows!DEFNITELY RECOMMENDED!
