Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Recording now for a couple decades, Diane Schuur's singing has matured with age. She now fills out her middle and lower registers in ways that enhance her formidable beginnings. Over the years she's moved easily from small combos to large and swinging bands.

For her third release on the Concord label she revels in late night moods and matters. The album's thirteen songs were written specifically for Schuur by Barry Manilow, who also co-produced the set. It's a good match, as both Manilow and Schuur have drawn from or even immersed themselves in pop material as well as jazz. A song like "Stay Away From Bill" owes as much to Tin Pan Alley and Broadway as to more traditional jazz realms. Elsewhere, the settings mix a range of nocturnal rhythms and colors, from the light bossa-nova of "I'll Be There" to the saucy swing of "Southwind" and the torch balladry of "Good-bye My Love." The album closes with one of a handful of duets, this one with none other than Manilow himself, who offers up nicely nuanced subtleties in his pairing. --David Greenberger

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music takes a back seat, October 2, 2003

By	fascinated observer - See all my reviews

This is a fabulous CD!!! I think music like this unfortunately takes a back seat to all the other "splashy" material that bombards us today. I am not sure it will ever get its recognition due. I think many times artists like Ms. Schuur need to find other venues in which to promote their music. The mainstream tastes of today just don't seem to appreciate it.
Maybe thinking "outside of the box" on promoting music is becoming a needed requirement for many artists. Barry Manilow has a rare talent for the feel of producing music almost more than performing...........his instincts are impeccable, if you are a jazz lover, it is a must........if you sit on the fence with jazz this will convert you........the lyrics to "What is Love", I am in agreement with the previous post that it has a classic Gershwin sound that you just don't find in modern written lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed, August 25, 2003

By A Customer

Beautifully written and produced album. Smooth, romantic, lush jazz arrangements that will carry you away. Nice to see such clever, sophisticated, emotional lyric writing, most notably "Stay Away From Bill", "Life Is Good", "What Is Love" and "When October Goes". It's also nice (and rare nowadays) to own a new album you won't need to press "skip" during.

These songs have an American Standard feel to them and some have the potential to endure with the likes of "But Not For Me" and "The Thrill Is Gone". Most particularly Panzer/Manilow's "Life Is Good".

Diane Schuur's voice is as captivating, powerful and mesmerizing as ever.

If you're looking for a great classic album to add to your collection, I wouldn't miss "Midnight".

5.0 out of 5 stars MIDNIGHT or any hour.... this CD is GREAT !, August 16, 2003

By	FredericWhite "FredericWhite" (Montreal,Canada) - See all my reviews

DIANE SCHUUR is the real thing !

In an age of media hyped jazz vocalists, DIANE SCHUUR quietly demonstrates how one can beautifully produce & create a wonderful jazz CD without much fanfare and pop interventions.
Her vocals are classy and right on the money.

This CD is destined to be listed as a true classic in the JAZZ arena. It should receive several GRAMMY NOMINATIONS in the Jazz catagory at this year's ceremonies.
Even if you are not a maniac of jazz music, you will fall for the simple production of this CD. The lady is a classy vocal talent. This is a CD that you will play over and over again.
