Negative Positive
Title: pop music
Review: This late recording of Sarah Vaughan interested me greatly, because I knew her voice aged more gracefully than Ella's, so I really expected not only romance, but also passion from this album. Well, the voice is still here (of course, much deeper than in her sassy and romantic youth, but who cares?)Apparently, majority of people commenting this album online are quite thrilled... I appologize, but I'm not.Maybe it's because I'm primarily jazz-oriented Sarah Vaughan fan, althoug I like some other forms of music as well (blues for instance)... I have nothing against bossa nova and other forms of Latin music, but this is, basically, a pop album with light Brazilian touch and even lighter jazz touch...Even when Sarah goes on short wordless-impro flight, for instance on "Love and Passion", it is smothered in electric sounds of elevator music... In my humble opinion.So, merely because I wouldn't like to be too harsh out of my jazz-based biggotry, I'm giving it more than one star.
Is the review positive or negative?
