Love Scenes

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Diana Krall

Release Date August 26, 1997
Truly, Diana Krall cannot be compared with any other Jazz vocalist, past or present. And as a huge fan of Ella, Sarah, and Mel Torme - three of the best singers ever to hold a microphone - I must admit that Diana Krall doesn't even come close. Yet, she holds her own by subtly and beautifully carving out a niche for herself in the genre and subtly redefining Jazz as we know it. The difference? Her vocals. It's the phrasing, the honesty, the raw emotion that pours from every song. There's no scatting, no wild improvisations, just vocal purity and the ability to capture the lyrical meaning of a song and effortlessly express a myriad of sentiments. Just listen to the tracks LOST MIND and I MISS YOU SO. Can't we all relate? Perfectly delivered...Diana ... Read More:

When Harry Met Sally: Music From The Motion Picture

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Harry Connick Jr.

Release Date July 13, 1989
Rob Reiner's movie entitled When Harry Met Sally deserves the fine soundtrack it had; and this CD of songs based on the movie soundtrack will delight you, too. Sure, these renditions are not what you'll hear when you watch the movie; but this CD gives us plenty to be happy about anyway.

Harry Connick, Jr. was just hitting the big time when he was tapped for this film; and this CD proves he had great talent from the start. Even though he was a mere 21 at the time these songs were recorded, Harry displays a mature and polished sensitivity to the nuances in the lyrics of these songs. Harry croons wonderfully on this CD.

The CD opens with "It Had To be You" with Harry Connick, Jr. playing piano and singing the vocals. The big band arrangement ... Read More:

Come Away with Me

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Jazz
by: Norah Jones

Release Date June 10, 2003
The sound on this is very anemic. The bass is almost non-existent. I've read this in other reviews but I had to see for myself since I love this album. It's true. Stick with the regular CD. Later Edit: I've decided it's not as bad as I first thought. What I said previously still applies but you won't be wasting your money on this.
