The Grand Encounter
CD album.
Nära nyskick. CD, Blue Note CDP 7243 8 38268 2 7 (1996 / 1996). När sångerskan Dianne Reeves äntligen bestämde sig för att göra en "riktig" jazzplatta, så gjorde hon ingen halvmesyr, utan bjöd in ett överdådigt gäng musiker. Sättningarna varierar från spår till spår och finns noggrannt redovisade i konvolutet."This CD could have been titled Finally! Dianne Reeves has long had the potential to be the top female jazz singer, but so many of her previous recordings were erratic as she skipped back and forth between idioms without committing herself. However....she at last came out with a full jazz album in 1996, and it is a gem. The supporting cast on the ten selections....is remarkable and everyone gets a chance to play: trumpeters Clark Terry and Harry "Sweets" Edison, altoists Phil Woods and Bobby Watson, tenorman James Moody, trombonist Al Grey, harmonica great Toots Thielemans (on "Besame Mucho"), pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Rodney Whitaker, and drummer Herlin Riley. In addition, Joe Williams shares the vocal spotlight on "Let Me Love You" and a touching version of "Tenderly," Germaine Bazzle sings along with Reeves on "Side by Side," and a rendition of Charlie Ventura's "Ha!" has a vocal group consisting of Reeves, Bazzle, Terry, Moody, and the young Kimberley Longstreth....This highly recommended CD is the Dianne Reeves release to get."
