JOYCE BREACH - MOMENTS LIKE THIS
In
addition to wrapping you in the warm cashmere of her voice, she also thrills
with such intellectually satisfying understanding of the true intent behind
each lyric that she makes you understand it, too... with this superb collection
of hand-picked, personally embossed take-home tunes, each arranged by the
brilliant Mike Renzi. Precise dedication to quality, rubbed with a patina of
subtle nuance, is the key to why she is one of the best interpreters of lyrics
in the business today and why, like aging sherry, she gets better all the time.
Includes Journey To A Star, I Like You, You're Nice, Moments Like This, I'm In
Love Again, (There Ought To Be A) Moonlight Saving Time, Waiting For The Train
To Come In, Dancing On A Dime, They Say It's Wonderful, Sunday Afternoon, I'll
Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him, Where
Can I Go Without You?, That's For Me, and These Foolish Things (Remind Me of
You). ~ CD Universe
KIM WATERS - SILVER SOUL
It's always
the season for love and for 25 years, urban-jazz saxman Kim Waters
(www.KimWaters.net) has provided the soulful soundtrack to romance. “Silver
Soul,” the aptly-titled set to commemorate his silver anniversary as a
recording artist, continues the affair with the critically-hailed session
spawning Waters’ 17th Top 10 single, “Dreaming Of You.” Released last month,
“Silver Soul,” was bolstered by the recent national broadcast of a Waters
concert on SiriusXM. Summer tour dates around the U.S. created awareness and
demand ahead of the album’s street date helping to ensure its successful
launch. Waters
took his time writing the material for “Silver Soul,” his 20th album, striving
for each song to be a potential single. The love theme permeates the vibrant
melodies, steams up the sensual R&B grooves and adds luster to the
contemporary jazz nuances. In addition to playing a variety of saxophones on
the balanced mix of instrumental and vocals selections, Waters performed all of
the instrumentation except for guitar and sang the chorus on a handful of
songs. Three distinctive vocalists shine brightly on duets with the musician:
R&B crooner Eric Roberson (“Laying Beside Me”), Disney starlet Zendaya (her
originally “Fireflies”) and Dana Pope (“Anything You Need”), the latter being
Waters’ wife. Another highlight is an impassioned soprano sax revision of John
Legend’s reverential “All Of Me” that perfectly suits the album’s motif.
