Jacintha Here's To Ben: A Vocal Tribute To Ben Webster (1999) Reissued; Super Audio CD

Jacintha Is Her Name CD music

$26.55

All tracks have been digitally remastered using XRCD (Extended Resolution Compact Disc) technology. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. When you link your musical objective to a jazz icon like Ben Webster, certain expectations are created and, as here, rarely are these expectations met. Certainly, Jacintha sings songs Webster played, and she sings them very nicely. But there's none of the raspy timbre in her voice that made Webster's saxophone immediately recognizable. Jacintha confuses raspy with singing softly. 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?" ...

Jacintha Lush Life (2002) Super Audio CD

Jacintha Is Her Name music CDs

$22.85

Dmitri Matheny (flugelhorn); Anthony Wilson (guitar); Darek Oles (bass); Joe LaBarbera (drums). This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. This is Jacintha's third album for Groove Note, and her first with strings. Very popular in her native Singapore, she's beginning to get a worldwide reputation, and this release demonstrates why: Her voice is lovely, with clear diction and expressive, naturalistic phrasing. She draws the listener into a warm intimacy from the first track, "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams," a rarely covered and beautiful song with the perfect "rainy night in Paris" ambience supplied by Frank Marocco on accordion. Other highlights include a bluesy but refreshingly non-wailing "Black Coffee," with a fine, understated solo by Bill Cunliffe on piano; he's also good on the silky bossa "Manha de Carneval," where Anthony Wilson's melodic plucking contrasts nicely with the smoothness of the strings. Another unusual but happy choice, "When We Were Young," showcases the superb flügelhorn of Dmitri Matheny, which enhances four other tracks as well. Eight of ...

Jacintha Autumn Leaves: The Songs Of Johnny Mercer (2000) Reissued; Super Audio CD

Jacintha Is Her Name songs

$26.49

All tracks have been digitally remastered using XRCD (Extended Resolution Compact Disc) technology. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Nine of the 11 tracks here are ballads. Their uncluttered arrangements spotlight Jacintha's smooth and sensuous voice, while her expressive phrasing draws the most from the classic Johnny Mercer lyrics. Jacintha includes the original lyrics to "Autumn Leaves," done in soft and flawless French; otherwise, her primary innovation is to deliver the tunes straight and sincerely, with minimal improvisation and maximum tenderness. There's no trace of the customary bitterness in "One More for the Road," and her unaccompanied reading of "Moon River" liberates that song from any prior goopy associations. ...

Lauren White At Last CD (2007) Sacd Hybrid

Jacintha Is Her Name CD music

$22.79

Lauren White is one of a seemingly increasing number of vocalists attempting to follow in the footsteps of the highly successful vocalist Norah Jones. Though White has got some jazz chops and a pleasing voice, her debut CD is rather inconsistent, covering standards, pop songs, country and originals. The best tracks feature her with pianist Bill Cunliffe (who knows a thing or two about accompanying singers), while bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Mark Ferber lay a solid foundation throughout the album. "My One and Only" is not one of the Gershwin brothers' well known tunes, but White makes the most of this slinky opener. She doesn't seem to appreciate the humor in "Mack the Knife" as much as Ella Fitzgerald, so it comes off a little tame. Better is the unusual setting of "My Funny Valentine," sung with a sense of drama and adding a lush solo by tenor saxophonist Rickey Woodard. But then problems start to appear. Guitarist Anthony Wilson's dreary arrangement of Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" and Joe Bagg's lackluster organ do absolutely nothing for this normally delightful song, while the slow tempo makes the nearly seven minute ...
