| | Lisa Ekdahl When Did You Leave Heaven CD Lisa Ekdahl Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
A major pop star in Scandinavia, Lisa Ekdahl was 24 when she attempted to sing straight-ahead jazz on the consistently weak When Did You Leave Heaven, which was her first release in the U.S. and her first all-English recording. The Swedish singer's thin, girlish, mousy voice might work on bubblegum pop, but it's hardly appropriate for standards like "Cry Me a River" and "I'm a Fool to Want You." Ekdahl tries to emulate Billie Holiday, although the disc ends up sounding more like Paula Abdul with a Scandinavian accent making an ill-advised attempt at acoustic jazz. Especially embarrassing is her version of "Lush Life" -- this is a song that even 35-year-old singers shy away from because they don't feel they've done enough living, and Ekdahl gives no indication that she has the type of depth needed to sing this Billy Strayhorn classic convincingly. As many gifted jazz singers as Sweden had in the late 1990s (including Jeanette Lindström and Lina Nyberg), it's most regrettable that RCA Victor chose to record someone who should have stuck to commercial pop. ~ Alex Henderson When Did You Leave Heaven Music When Did You Leave Heaven Music When Did You Leave Heaven Music Review Purchase When Did You Leave Heaven CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Backstreet Boys Millenium CD (1999)

When Did You Leave Heaven music CDs
$7.79
The third CD for this band has a change in personnel, with Paquito D'Rivera and Andy Narell gone but Dave Valentin (flute) and Steve Khan (guitars) joining. It has changed the entire dynamic structure of the band, for the better. Valentin's otherworldly sound and Khan's acoustic and electric abilities open fresh vistas for Samuels' pan-Caribbean notions on vibes and marimba. They have worked together before; see Valentin's Sunshower (GRP) or Samuels' excellent Tjaderized (Verve) for further examples. The threesome are complemented by Eddie Palmieri band members John Benitez (bass) and Richie Flores (congas/bongos), with timbalist/percussionist Robert Vilera and background singer Caridad Canelon. The combination has great potential, fully realized on several of the ten selections. Samuels wrote four of these, the most impressive being "Ivory Coast," which features introductory jungle sounds, a moody, darkly hued melody, churning beats of six and four juxtaposed, and a true sense of sound sculpting. "Arthur's Dance" is a sensual, Cal Tjader-like danzon; a 6/8 beat on "Over the Horizon" leads to a neat descarga bridge to the coda; and "Rain Forest" is more concerned with imagery rather than substantive, compelling music. Valentin gets off on the Khan-penned jam "Descarga Canelon," while a 7/8 beat -- with the marimba strutting, guitar and rhythm following -- leads to the familiar strains of "A Night in Tunisia," a different, most intriguing treatment ...
