A Vocal Tribute to Ben Webster

Best Jazz Female Vocal Recording, 1998 - Journey To Sound "This XRCD2 version is surely a CD To Die For" Audiotechnique W historii jazzu nazwisko Bena Webstera zajmuje miejsce szczególne. Repertuar, technika i klimat jego muzykowania są jakże rozpoznawalne. To oaza nastroju i wielowarstowych wzajemnie się przenikających emocji. Jacintha ma wyjątkową barwę głosu. Jest niezwykle utalentowana. Jej kultura muzyczna zaczyna się tam, gdzie mieszkała Królewna Śnieżka, a kończy... No właśnie. Nig-dzieś! She and the producers would have been better served by presenting these songs as hers, not Webster's. The focus then would be where it belongs, i.e., what she does with these classics. With excellent pitch, good diction, and sensitive interpretations of the lyrics, she makes these songs her own. One highlight is her a cappella treatment of "Danny Boy." Throughout the session, Jacintha receives solid support from veteran Teddy Edwards' blues-drenched saxophone (he's a lot closer to Webster than Jacintha is). He and Jacintha work well together, as on "How Long Has This Been Going On?" The venerable drummer Larance Marable and bass player Darek Oles combine to lay a solid, sensitive foundation for the proceedings. Oles' bass is especially prominent on "Over the Rainbow." Former Miles Davis pianist Ker Akagi is a capable accompanist. This album is a solid enough effort solely on the strength of Jacintha's natural talent. The obeisance to Webster was not only unnecessary, but distracting. — Dave Nathan Stunning debut album by the gorgeous-voiced Jacintha is a vocal tribute to tenor great Ben Webster. This is now an audiophile reference disc for female vocals.
