Title: Not Patricia's best by a long way
Review: I've collected Patricia voraciously with each new release. Along came Nightclub and I was there, forking over my hard earned all too eagerly. Expecting the usual dark brooding 'tinging' (talk/singing) that she does so well, and her unique interpretations of jazz standards I was most disappointed. This album no doubt, is a well executed, beautifully recorded jazz piece that captures that late night ambience she set out to do. It just lacks the dynamism and originality her previous albums have had. Also, because there is a greater emphasis on the singing, which she ain't great at, it just tends to annoyance. I didn't even listen through when usually I'm planted on the couch from start to finish. Her best work in my opinion comes from CDs Companion, Modern Cool and Cafe Blue. These rate 10 stars on a 5 star scale. She can be awesome but this is a 2* effort compared to previous releases.Cheers, Kendrick
