Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The best recording of 2008 (and possibly 2009, 2010, 2011, etc.)Start with a phenomenally gifted, rapidly ascending vocalist of the same heritage as Caruso and Sinatra, add as the sole pianist the musician who is the current reigning patriarch in jazz, and finally select a few sterling examples from the Great American Songbook. The results are predictably spectacular but not "showy" or "exhibitionistic." This is not an album simply to be impressed by. Gambarini is sufficiently mature, and in command musically, that she can afford to use her virtually unlimited technique to one end: bringing the song to realization for all concerned--the composer, the performer, and the listener. Indeed, "You are there." Anyone who finds this music "boring" hasn't learned how to listen. If you have yet to ...

Teamed with Hank Jones , the old master, you can't have a better combo. Hank's a piano master and together they make music you can listen to forever. Rating:  - B-O-O-O-R-I-N-GAfter all the hype, where is the emotion, the passion? Where is the spirit of the songs? This album is terrible. Someone should wake this chick up. Rating: - Marvelous!Yes, You ARE There! It has a cabaret intimacy, and sensuousness. This is a perfect jazz recording with the combo of Roberta and Hank Jones. Roberta's voice has a certain confidence and brightness. And when first hearing her sing i thought Je ne sais Quoi? It felt like the rush and sparkle as from a fine wine. Explanation?....the warm Italian ambiance is apparent. She definitely reminds us of Carmen McCrae---but without the melancholy undertones, and more like bliss instead. Anyway, isn't it a good thing to be compared to the gold standard (Carmen)? Here's a generous CD with 14 tracks and three pages of liner notes all written by Roberta. Sweet. Rating: - Beautiful music!Just got this CD for my commuting time in the car. What a wonderful companion to have, as I try to unwind from the week's work and prepare for a quiet and peaceful weekend. |
