RE: My take on PB

Posted by airheadair on November 28, 2010 at 09:20:22:
Interesting: I tend to feel the other way. For example, on her most recent album,
The Cole Porter Mix: although she sings the Cole Porter songs with precision and beauty,
I think her style is too intense for their light-hearted wit. Her own songs on that album,
Snow, I Wait for Late Afternoons and You, and the January Song are simply exquisite. Nightclub,
which consists of all standards, is my least favorite of her albums. On the other hand,
I can see why her album "Mythologies" is hard to appreciate. It's pretty far from jazz.
Post Modern Blues (from "Modern Cool") is rather far out but lots of fun.
Actually I do like a lot of her standards too, especially in her early work (Split, Distortion of Love).
I also like her piano playing a lot; this hasn't shown up yet as much on her recordings as it does in her live performances.
