Customer Rating:
Summary: Divine Dianne
Comment: Dianne Reeves never fails to deliver, and this one is sensational. I went overboard for 'Who's Minding the Store' - a song I've never heard before. A welcome addition to my Dianne Reeves collection.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Elegant
Comment: Dianne Reeves is "perfect" for this recording. Oh my, this is lush. Also the saxophone makes you simply melt. This is very, very wonderful music. Turn the volume up and dance thru the night This is beautiful. A GRAMMY should be awarded for this beautiful work.
Enjoy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: All time favorite!
Comment: this beautifully compiled and produced cd featuring the lovely voice of Diane Reeves and her interpretation of the timeless ballads is a must buy and guarrantteed to be on my all time best albums of the year, it is a shame that this album was sidelined from this year's Oscar in favor of a much undeserving winner for best soundtrack.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A SAFE BET...
Comment: After three Grammies in three consecutive years... first artist to do so...
BOUGHT IT WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND IT PROVED TO BE "MY" GOOD LUCK AND GOOD NIGHT.
Bets come not safer then this.

Editorial Reviews:

Dianne Reeves's cool contralto, fronted by a quicksilver combo featuring saxophonist Matt Catingub and pianist Peter Martin, provides the flowing jazz soundtrack to George Clooney's 1950s, film detailing the epic struggle between the legendary TV newsman Edward R. Murrow and the Communist-baiting Senator Joseph McCarthy. Reeves' delivery is flawless and swinging on these mostly mid-tempo/ballad takes on several timeless classics (including Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right," Duke Ellington's "Solitude," and the bouncy Dinah Washington hit "TV is the Thing This Year"). Two other selections, "Pick Yourself Up" and "Too Close for Comfort," dance with a Latin lilt; the lone instrumental, "When I Fall in Love," is as romantic as they come. Mr. Murrow, who profiled both Ellington and Louis Armstrong on his pioneering See it Now show, loved jazz, so it's fitting that the music's grounding in freedom of expression and improvisation counterweighs the horrors of McCarthy's liberty-killing abuses. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
