Music reviews of Days of Wine and Roses: Song of Johnny Mercer

Music Review: "creative flair for Johnny Mercer ~ Beegie Adair"
Rating: 5 Stars

One can hardly pick a stand out, entire compilation draws on slow tempos with blends of original sentiment and gorgeous melodies ~ give a listen to the opening cue "DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES" and then "MOON RIVER", both songs in collaboration with Henry Mancini, have stood the test of time and will go on forever ~ "LAURA", the film-noir era gave us and starred Gene Tierney whose portrait on the wall stays with you the entire film, Beegie's performance on this track is simply haunting ~ "SKYLARK", all time favorite for many vocalist such as Ella Fitzgerald, but this arrangement from Adair serves up an inimitable instrumental style that completely gets under your skin and you're loving every minute of it.

This album plays like fine wine and flows very easily on the ears ~ once again Jack Jezzro (producer) comes through with a must have for all music lovers and fans of Beegie. Arrangements take on many moods with the same sensitivity and tender loving care as her previous albums...gotta love it!

Total Time: 50:18 on 13 Tracks ~ Village Square 3002 ~ (11/25/2003)
