Positively The Most/Softly The Brazilian Sound
CD (Item 469308) Warner/Collectors Choice, Early 60s -- Condition: New Copy
Two groovy 60s albums from the lovely Joanie Sommers -- easily one of the most versatile singers of her generation! Positively The Most has Joanie working with some great arrangements from Marty Paich and Tommy Oliver -- both of whom help things stay lively, even when sweet -- and almost give the album a similar feel to some of the best Bethlehem or Mode label jazz vocal sides of the 50s. Joanie's got none of her pop trappings here -- and her vocals are nicely deep and mature -- on titles that include "What's New", "My Heart Belongs To Daddy", "Something I Dreamed Last Night", "Oh But I Do", "That Old Devil Moon", and "So In Love". Softly The Brazilian Sound is whole new dimension for Sommers -- an album of bossa tunes, recorded with strings and backing by the great Laurindo Almeida! The style is wonderfully sweet -- and works perfectly with Joanie's gentle vocals -- and although not all the tunes are strict bossa standards, they're all taken in a similar mode, which makes for a really unified set. The album features a few tasty debuts -- including "Old Guitarron" and "You Can't Go Home Again" -- plus versions of "Meditation", "Quiet Nights", "Once", "Carnival", "That's All", and "Watching The World Go By". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
