Title: like coffee and chocolate on a Friday evening
Review: If I were to select songs for a contemporary jazz vocal collection, I would choose 'In walked bean' from Kitty Margolis, which is a perfect representative of her work. Her humorous scat singing is something we missed in the world of jazz singing, where women are given certain stereotypical roles. The new jazz women bring their intelligence to their singing. Kitty Margolis' witty and experimental style carries her to surprising tastes such as the Indian flavoured interpretation of 'Speak Low'. You have never heard it like this before.However, the peak of this album is unmistakably 'Wouldnt it be loverly' which is almost like coffee and chocolate on a tired but content Friday evening after a long week's work. Not to forget the contribution of Charles Brown's duet to this song. The only other song, which gives me such a similar pleasure is Betty Carter's 'When its sleepy time Down South'.
