Title: "warmth & distinctive phrasing techniques are delightful"
Product review: Seems like Carol Sloane has found her nitch in the "world of jazz"...with her climb up the ladder of success...Concord Jazz is the label we look to...and once again they've come up with another winner ~ "Ballad Essentials"...this time we have songs from the Sinatra, McRae, Ella and Satchmo era...and just when you think you've heard it all...Sloane comes across with her distinctive phrasing, warmth and technique that makes her a one-of-kind performer...take for instance "YOU MUST BELIEVE IN SPRING", an Alan & Marilyn Bergman tune, with a classic romantic arrangement adds to the highlights of this sensitive performance.You might try other albums by Carol Sloane on Concord Jazz, all worthy of a good listen ~ "Sweet & Slow" (CCD-4564)..."The Songs Carmen Sang" (CCD-4663)..."The Songs Sinatra Sang" (CCD-4725)..."The Songs Ella & Louis Sang" (CCD-4787-2).Total Time: 60:02 on 11 Tracks ~ Concord Jazz CCD 4971-2 ~ (2001)
