Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1994, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's recording of Michel Legrand's "Pieces of Dreams" is quite memorable and made the song into a standard. There are two versions of that song on this CD reissue, but unfortunately, the other six numbers and the two added alternate takes are all quite commercial. Turrentine's tenor is joined by electric keyboards, up to three guitarists, a few background vocalists, and strings, all arranged by Gene Page. None of the other then-recent material is up to the level of "Pieces of Dreams," making this a disc that can be safely passed by. ~ Scott Yanow

AWB's artistic winning streak continued with its outstanding fourth album, Soul Searching. Interestingly, this wasn't an album that enjoyed a great deal of publicity or that contained a lot of major hits. In fact, its biggest single, the dreamy "Queen of My Soul," only made it to number 21 on Billboard's R&B albums chart. But thanks to the devoted following AWB had acquired since signing with Atlantic in 1974, Soul Searching went gold. Indeed, AWB aficionados were quite receptive to first-rate material ranging from the invigorating "I'm the One" to the hauntingly romantic "A Love of Your Own." By zeroing in on their strengths -- hard-hitting funk and delightfully melodic soul -- AWB saw to it that Soul Searching was every bit as rewarding as its predecessors. ~ Alex Henderson

Kudos to the Lounge Brigade for avoiding the easy way out of this cover album. Even though they could have made everything all goofy and wacky for the swing kids, they instead decided to treat Ani Difranco's music with respect and really put some effort into it. They do decide to twist things towards their given talents, but this actually is a great way to handle such unique material. So "In or Out" becomes a blistering torch song, "The Diner" ...

Jazz vocalist James Tormé logged more hours on a plane as a child than most of us accumulate in a lifetime. He grew up commuting between the Los Angeles home of his father—3-time Grammy Award winner Mel Tormé—and London, the hometown of his mother, celebrated British actress Janette Scott.These countless transatlantic crossings provided the future Koch Records recording artist and Chuck Niles Jazz Music Award-winning singer with an invaluable opportunity to begin honing his craft. He spent the long flights absorbing not only his father's music but current pop songs as well."My mom bought me Michael Jackson's album Off The Wall when I was 6, and I think it did me in permanently,” James recalls. “On top of that, my father would dub tapes for me of any new music he thought was worth getting into. He introduced me to Earth, Wind & Fire, Steely Dan, and Blood Sweat and Tears and, of course, all the jazz songs from the American Songbook. I honestly see myself as an evolution ...
