Music reviews of Sentimental Journey
Music Review: "Rosie is the essential ingredient for the Big Band era"
Rating: 5 Stars
Musical moments from a bygone era when singers were featured on the big band podium...this music speaks in a special way, leaving no room for doubt...she is the "girl singer", loved and respected by all. Memories of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, Helen O'Connell, Jo Stafford, Joe Williams and Dick Haymes performing with the big bands of that day...Count Basie, Duke Ellington, The Dorseys, Glenn Miller and Les Brown and the list could go on.
Outstanding arrangements abound...this her latest release ~ "Sentimental Journey", for example "YOU GO TO MY HEAD", what else could be as perfect, expressions flow with ease..."HAPPINESS IS A THING CALLED JOE", Clooney has a way with this tune, listen closely to the lyrical interpretation, nothing comes close to her greatness...enjoyment gives out on "I'M A BIG BAND SINGER", written by another singer from the band generation, Merv Griffin...a highlight is "ROCKIN' CHAIR", the Hoagy Carmichael gem, which was recorded and made famous by another great, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, gotta love em' both.
Sixteen selections to treasure now and forever...Matt Catingub and John Oddo give each tune a timeless touch...featuring the one-and-only "Girl Singer" ~ ROSIE CLOONEY!
You might try other Rosemary Clooney Concord releases, all worthy of a good listen ~ "For The Duration" (CCD-4444)..."Demi-Cenntennial" (CCD-4633)..."Mothers & Daughters" (CCD-4754-2)..."Dedicated To Nelson" (CCD-4685)..."The Songbook Collection" (CCD-6-4933-2 ~ 6-CD-SET)
Total Time: 58:28 on 16 Tracks ~ Concord Records CCD-4952-2 ~ (2001)
Description of Sentimental Journey
Subtitled - The Girl Singer and Her New Big Band with Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack. This project grew out of Clooney's month-long residence at Feinstein's at New York's Regency Hotel, where she was accompanied by Matt Catingub's band with the funny, sassy Latin name. Catingub's been a busy musician in Hawaii for years, & his 12-piece outfit is a perfect fit for Clooney's crisp, deliberate style. He's in good company considering that she's shared stages with Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, & Woody Herman. The centerpiece is the title track, which longtime pianist/arranger John Oddo created to maximize intimacy, punctuated by big brassy exclamation points between verses. Concord Jazz. 2001.Rosemary Clooney's renaissance on Concord continues with Sentimental Journey, her 20th-plus disc for the label. This set of standards and two new set pieces recalls her pre-"Come-On a My House" days while asserting her ongoing strength at 73. Clooney moves from various shades of romance ("That Old Black Magic," "Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe") to a display of comic timing ("Ya Got Class") that suggests she could've developed a second career on the "legitimate" stage. Supple solos by Matt Cowan (tenor sax) and bandleader Matt Catingub (alto) bring further depth to the likes of "And the Angels Sing" and "You Belong to Me." The single most affecting track, though, is an "I'll Be Around" that finds Clooney accompanied by Catingub's solo piano--a finer tribute to Frank Sinatra, who defined the song on In the Wee Small Hours, than the two stolid odes to him and the craft. --Rickey Wright
