Review

"Wendee has a beautiful voice, swings at all tempos, improvises with subtlety and taste, knows how to uplift superior material." --Scott Yanow, Author of Jazz Books, Sept 2005

Product Description

While all 15 songs are rewarding, a few of the highpoints are particularly worth mentioning. Wendee's singing, starting with a brief a capella stretch at the beginning of "Blue Skies," is beautiful throughout. "Rainbow Connection" is given new life beyond its connection with Kermit the Frog. Peplowski's solos on "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Blue Moon" especially show off his fluency and creativity. The medley of "My Foolish Heart" and "The Second Time Around" (which has Steve Heck singing the latter) is a surprising success. And "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life" was recorded because Wendee loved how Eddie Higgins played Michel Legrand.

This review is from: True Colors (Audio CD)

I consider this cd to be one of my handful of great finds-particularly
when I found it in the discount section of a local cd store;I don't know what somebody was thinkin'.Wendee has the style-and the voice to back it up.And the group knows how to back up a singer,with great soloing by Ken Peplowski on tenor sax and clarinet,Eddie Higgins and Steve Heck on piano,Marshall Wood on bass,Les Harris on drums,Bob Ullman on guitar and Dotti Anita Taylor on flute.My only (personal)negative is I'm just on real big on the title tune itself;I would've called the cd 'True Talent'
or 'Truly Great Stuff' which kicks off with a truly great 'Blue Skies' and keeps kickin'.
