4.0 out of 5 stars With Her It's The Fab Band!, October 21, 2008

By	H. L. Dietor "Reiki Spirit" (Greensburg, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Antique (Audio CD)

It seems to me that with many of the talented 'standards' singers we have now, the songs are about only their voice or sometimes you're left thinking, "Didn't much care for the singing, but the band was very good." With Ms. McKelle who has an outstanding voice and wonderful excitment in her enterpretations, I say no either/or here! It's as close as we're going to get to those great Big Band moments that our grandparents were lucky enough to experience. On both of her CDs, Ms. McKelle shares the space with some outstanding musicians who make these tunes more than a great time. So, it's a two-fer, and a grand listening experience. Swing on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, August 30, 2008

By	HAPPY SHOPPER (VICTORVILLE, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

I was wandering through a local bookstore the other day and heard this amazing music playing in the background. I immediately stopped in my tracks and asked the first employee that I saw who it was. I was directed towards the music section and was shown this CD of Robin McKelle.

I had never heard of this singer before, but after listening to just a couple of the tracks I was immediately hooked. I remember telling the sales clerk that the "vibe" I was getting was simply intoxicating.

If you're into vocal jazz or big band music, you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz Times Review - August 2008!, August 19, 2008

By	My Review for you. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Antique (Audio CD)

Jazz Times, August 2008

She's a Berklee grad and a Thelonius Monk Vocal Jazz Competition
finalist. She often sounds a lot like Anita O'Day, except when she
sounds eerily like Nancy Wilson. She's blessed with O'Day's
indefatigable verve as well as her innate sense of swing, and echoes
Wilson's relaxed authority. Two years ago, she delivered a dynamite
debut disc, Introducing Robin McKelle, embracing a retro big-band vibe
with the ease and intelligence of a softer-edged Bette Midler. Now
she's back with a second big-band effort even better than the first.
Willie Murillo, who steered much of the previous album, again serves
as principal arranger. But Chris Barron, Gordon Goodwin, Randy
Waldman, pianist Alain Mallet and McKelle herself also contribute
arrangements; and remarkably, considering the number of cooks stirring
the pot, the results are not only consistently good but also
seamlessly consistent. For fans of gorgeous standards lovingly
nestled in ideal settings and sung with impeccable beauty and style,
Modern Antique is essential listening. But McKelle and company go a
few captivating steps further: first by transforming rocker Steve
Miller's '80s chart-toppet "Abracadabra" into three-and-a-half minutes
of pure, inventive jazz pleasure; then by doubling the strength of
the Nina Simone anthem "Go to Hell" by defusing its anger and
replacing it with assured wisdom; and, finally, by exiting on tiptoe
(just McKelle on vocals and piano, supported by a gentle wave of
strings) with the tenderly reflective, self-penned ballad "Remember."
