Among the best tracks are "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," which paradoxically is perfect for a melancholy autumn afternoon, "Hit the Road to Dreamland," and Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night." Her previously unreleased versions of "I Wish You Love," and "The Folks Who Live on the Hill," are also nicely done, and the latter is different enough from (similar artist) Diana Krall's rendition (Only Trust Your Heart) to make it worthwhile for Monheit's loyal fans. Musically, this disc probably won't expand Monheit's fan base much, though visually, it should prove popular with men 18 to 35. --Leah Weathersby Audio CD (October 4, 2005) Original Release Date: 2005 Number of Discs: 1 Label: Encoded Music ASIN: B000AQKYRI 引用出道六年,对於爵士乐手而言,或许应该排入新秀之林,不过珍梦海(Jane Monheit)成名之速,短短六年的时间已经躋身爵士乐坛重量级歌手的地位,与Diana Krall、Norah Jones齐名,并且从独立制片转入Sony旗下,甜润而嫵媚的歌声,迅速征服了全世界的乐迷。如果要在这三大当代爵士女歌手 之间比较,Norah Jones崛起的速度最快,Diana Krall最慢,但却最具成熟韵味,珍梦海则是介於两者之间,很快的让全世界认识她,同时维持一贯的音乐风格,走自己喜欢的音乐路。 嗓音宛如独特的乐器 谈起珍梦海的发迹,制作人Carl Griffin回忆起第一次听到珍梦海的演出,是在1998年「Blues Alley」举办的Monk爵士乐大赛(Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition),他说珍梦海的歌声:「有如独特的乐器般,融合了爵士与流行的特质,是从艾拉.费兹杰罗与芭芭拉.史翠珊以来从未听过的独特嗓音。」在当天的预演中,珍梦海登台的顺序,排在已故的Teri Thornton之后,这位以抗癌斗士闻名的爵士老将,在当年度的Monk爵士乐大赛拔得头筹(Teri当时64岁,2000年5月因癌病逝),可想而知排在后面的珍梦海压力有多。不过当珍梦海登台,开唱16个小节之后,Carl Griffin回忆道:「每个人都在问:究竟这个小妮子是谁?怎么唱得这么有味道!」 究竟该怎么形容珍梦海的嗓音特质?珍梦海认为对自己演唱影响最大的歌手是艾拉.费兹杰罗,而时代杂誌夸张的形容珍梦海的歌声是「Everything」,美国Down Beat、Jazziz都把这位小妮子捧上了天,封为21世纪的爵士天后,更是美国本土爵士歌手之光。看来Daina Krall的加拿大籍,在美国还是会遇到外来人士的眼光。 引用5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Performance February 23, 2008 By B. H. Cohen Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase Although this entire recording is terrific, Jane Monheit's interpretation and performance of 'Waters of March' is one of my favorite recordings. This is a performance that can only come about because she believes the words --- and it has to come from her soul. She hits every note, her timing is perfect and the inflection for each word makes this song come alive. If Antonio Carlos Jobim were alive to hear her performance of his song, I am sure he would say, "yeah...that is what I meant".
