From what I've heard so far... WOW! I especially lurv Tina Turner singing "Edith and the Kingpin." I'm generally not a jazz fan, but this is just... delicious! Perfect autumn album. |
I'll be picking this one up along with Shine. "Edith & the Kingpin" is one of my favorite songs, and I totally could not picture Tina Turner doing it, but - wow is right! I read an interview where Herbie said he didn't think he needed to bring another vocal rendition of "Both Sides Now" into the world, and I must say that I just love him for that. Besides, nobody can touch Joni's orchestral version from 2000 - her original can't even hold a candle to that. But this instrumental version is greatness!
