Music reviews of Our Shining Hour
Music Review: This is absolutely wonderful!
Rating: 5 Stars
Both were excellent musicians, what more can be said? Except that they work perfectly together in these songs.
Bassie's more-complicated kinds of jazz are a perfect background (but not a boring background-simply-as-background) for Davis' energetic and stylized vocals. I cannot stop picturing Davis dancing around the stage singing these songs, and cannot stop picturing myself in the audience being perfectly entertained.
I only recently came across this record, and when I first listened to it my day became brighter, my step a little lighter, and I felt good about the world.
It's a magnificent snapshot of a time of big jazz bands and showy jazz vocals of the old school, performed by two of its true masters.
