Цитата:

When singer-songwriter-musician Javier entered the music scene with his self-titled debut LP in 2003, he didn't make a tremendous impact on the music scene, but he did demonstrate that he wasn't just another singer-wannabe who was long on looks and short on talent. And on his sophomore LP, Left of Center, the Connecticut native manages to stay true to his core sound, while adding new elements to it. Cases in point: the first single, "You're the One," is a funk-guitar fueled exercise that stretches R&B's boundaries. And the alluring Spanish guitar-driven "Dance For Me," is also impressive, particularly since its Javier himself who's actually the guitarist. (FYI, A lukewarm reggaeton remix of "Dance For Me" closes out the album.) In addition, gospel is the order of the day on the uplifting "The Answer is Yes." Left of Center (the title refers to the LP's slightly-different feel from most modern R&B) is a delight for anyone who loves the adult contemporary side of modern R&B music, exemplified by such acts as Brian McKnight, Toni Braxton and Babyface. However, unlike the aforementioned, Javier at this stage in his career seems to lack the depth and emotive skills that the best singers have. On the plus side, unlike many contemporary R&B albums, which feature wall-to-wall 'super-producers' and numerous guest vocalists, refreshingly, there's only one guest singer here, soul man Anthony Hamilton, who adds a layer of excellence to one the album's best tracks, "Count On Me." -- About.com

Nancy Wilson - Turned To Blue
VOCAL | FLAC | CUE | LOG | COVERS | 289MB | 52:08
Manchester Craftsmen's Guild 2006

Цитата:

On Nancy Wilson's previous album, 2004's R.S.V.P., the legendary vocalist teamed up with a given instrumentalist on each track. She must have liked the formula, because she's done it again on Turned to Blue. Here the oft-honored jazz singer leaves room in each number -- save for the title track, a Maya Angelou poem set to music and arranged by Jay Ashby -- for a different soloist, bringing in such heavyweights as Hubert Laws on flute, saxists Jimmy Heath, Andy Snitzer, Bob Mintzer (who appears to be summoning Stan Getz on the opening number, Gordon Jenkins' "This Is All I Ask"), James Moody and Tom Scott, pianist Dr. Billy Taylor, and steel pans player Andy Narrell, among others. Working with configurations ranging from classic big band (Duke Ellington's "Take Love Easy") to trio-plus-guest-soloist ("Knitting Class"), Wilson applies her seasoned but still flexible pipes to material both old and new, straddling the fence between adult contemporary/pop and the more demanding jazz of her earlier career. Heavy on the ballads, and confined nearly exclusively to love songs, Turned to Blue finds Nancy Wilson right where she ought to be nearly half a century into her recording career. ~ Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide
