Music reviews of Ann Hampton Callaway
Music Review: A Striking Voice So Full of Heartfelt Emotion
Rating: 5 Stars
"Warmly engaging, awesomely intelligent, astonishingly down-to-earth and deftly swinging, Ann Hampton Callaway is the perfect antidote to the screeching histrionics and ho-hum blahs that often pass for singing in the Neurotic Nineties." ~ Rex Reed ~
Ann Hampton Callaway possesses a striking voice so full of heartfelt emotion that suits ideally with standards. Rex Reed on his Liner Notes further added that "Ann's three-octave-range is capable of soaring into a brilliant soprano or a lush contralto, depending on the demands of the material, and her musical intuition builds extraordinary harmonic riffs into a driving carousel of infectious rhythms." She does not only sing, she emotes and brings new life and meaning into each song.
Sammy Cahn, one of the best lyricists in the history of Great American Songbook, once commented: "I have never heard anyone like her--she is simply stupendous." Amen to that! Her readings of evergreens such as "Too Late Now," "A Time For Love," "My Romance/My Foolish Heart" and "How Deep Is The Ocean" are delivered with heartfelt emotion that make them all well-worth remembering with the passage of time. She left a lasting impression into each of these chestnuts with her own trademark of excellence in singing.
Listen with your undivided attention to the ingenuity of "I've Got The World On A String" where she used her versatile voice to mimic the sound of a tenor saxophone on its bridge as she engages in a musical conversation with alto saxophonist Jerry Dodgion, trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater, pianist Michael Abene and drummer Kenny Washington.
I have never heard "Our Love Is Here To Stay" sung in catchy, infectious jazz samba rhythm until now. The result is a superbly-interpreted Gershwin classic with a new twist and flavor. And very tasteful at that! Kudos to a team of skilled musicians: Mike Renzi (piano/arranger), Jay Berliner (classical guitar), Chip Jackson (bass) and Terry Clarke (drums) for making this track a delightful treat. The same group of musicians played on "But Beautiful." Its Latin-tinged arrangement makes it one of the best versions of all-time. It is smooth, cool and ear-candy.
Oscar Hammerstein and Jerome Kern's "All The Things You Are" has been interpreted countless time with or without vocals, but Callaway gives a whole new meaning to it by singing its rarely-heard introductory verse. It is also a showcase of her incredible flair in scatting.
I have always thought that Kenny Rankin (Kenny Rankin Album) and Natalie Cole (Still Unforgettable (Amazon Exclusive Bonus Track)) delivered the very best renditions of Johnny Burke and James Van Heusen's gem of a song, "Here's That Rainy Day." Now I have added Callaway's interpretation, thus making it one of the best three vocal versions of all-time.
I had a great time listening to Ann Hampton Callaway's lifelong-dream-come-true-album and would like to recommend it to all vocal jazz fans. It's absolutely beautiful and a keeper!
