Title: Great back up band
Product review: The back up band on this album does a great job. Truly top-notch.Natalie Cole sounds like a pop star trying to sing jazz.She sings all the notes and the words. She even sings with some expression. She is obviously very talented.However, she often fails pay attention to phrase structure in the songs. Her tone quality is inconsistent and sometimes grating. The results are flat and uninspiring. If you want to listen to some contemporary jazz/pop vocalists you'd do better to listen Diana Krall, Kristin Korb, or Harry Connick, Jr. At the time this was recorded, Ms. Cole just wasn't ready to do a jazz album.
