Editorial Review: Album Description: The Bay Area's sultry-cool jazz sensation, Jacqui Naylor, definately believes in stretching the concept of the jazz standard. Her new CD titled "Live At The Plush Room", captures the artist's eclectic musical tastes and uses her wide vocal range and retro-hip intimacy to connect tunes by Irving Berlin, Bill Withers, and Barry White. Thirty percent of the artist's revenue from the CD will benefit Music in Schools Today(MUST), a nonprofit organization that serves the public schools in the San Francisco Bay Area by supporting student's diverse talents and creativity. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Mix up the MartinisOn the liner notes to the CD, Ms. Naylor thanks the Plush Room for giving her the opportunity "..to show the world how much I love to sing." It's clear that she does, and enjoys every minute of it. Lots of Jazz standards we have all heard hundreds of times before, but she makes them well worth another listen. She is backed by an excellent band; there are several exquisite piano solos throughout the record. This is a well-recorded live CD; it puts you right in the middle of the proverbial smoky jazz club. If you are a straight-ahead Jazz fan, this is the CD for you. Mix up the martinis, sit back, and enjoy. Rating:  - Sultry vocalsThis is an enjoyable CD, Jacqui Naylor has a great sultry sound, not unlike the great Billie Holiday. The reason for the four stars is that the recording is very heavy in the bass. I find to enjoy this disk fully, I have to lower the bass way down. I imagine the issue is related to this being a live recording. I urge jazz fans to buy this disk and enjoy this young talent. Rating: - Outstanding performer and artistI was fortunate enough to have caught Jacqui Naylor live just weeks ago. This album captures the almost indescribable, intimately magic touch that she obviously commands with audiences. I enthusiastically recommend this album, along with "Shelter", which shows off her range of compositional skills and a different, non-traditional jazz, (at times almost trip-hoppy/new rock) sound and fascinating reworkings of popular rock songs. She is a genuine artist who has earned all the accolades. Rating: - Not quite my speed, but a very good CD all the sameJacqui has one of those voices you either love or hate. For some reason, I come down right in the middle. I think this a very good CD overall. I might not go out and buy all her other CDs, but there was enough good stuff here that I'll listen to this one from time to time and still enjoy it! Rating: - Can't hear it enoughI love this record! Jacqui has that something that makes me feel better when I am feeling down...a certain honesty I think that comes through in her voice and her music. I heard there is a new recording soon to be out and can't wait to hear it. If "I Remember You", the single from it, is any indication of the vibe and the caliber of writing on that record...I'm there. She has a lot of soul and sings like an angel with an edge! I really appreciate the chances she takes with her music and feel that while I know she is a jazz singer, she sings standards in a really hip and interesting way. Her voice sounds a bit like Billie Holiday in that soothing kind of way sometimes but mostly she just sounds like her...like she is telling a story ... Read More: |
