Music reviews of A Wonderful World
Music Review: Truly A Wonderful World
Rating: 5 Stars
The sweet CD cover photo is a perfect indicator that the music inside will make you feel like you're wrapped in a warm embrace. It's gentle, playful, and jazzy and harkens back to another era when singers crooned. You can hear piano keys being tickled and bass strings being plucked. I happen to be more of a kd lang fan, and yet thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration, whether they sang by turn or together in harmony. If you want to slow down your day and put a smile on your face, this should do it.
Description of A Wonderful World
Never mind the project's odd couple, "He's got a girlfriend; so does she" marketing shuck. This is a musical love affair in all its splendor. Produced by the seemingly chameleonic producer T Bone Burnett (who previously revived traditional bluegrass with spectacular success on O Brother, Where Art Thou?), the septuagenarian legend and his unlikely contemporary foil affectionately court a dozen songs from the Louis Armstrong repertoire with the warmth and natural grace that have been a deceptively effortless Bennett trademark for 50-plus years. The pair kick proceedings off with a playful, irony-free "Exactly Like You," then perform a tender vocal waltz across both the ages and the masterful, sympathetic orchestrations of the late Peter Matz, one of Bennett's longtime collaborators. But it's on the more melancholy performances, like "If We Never Meet Again," "I'm Confessin'," and the Armstrong perennials "Wonderful World" and "Lucky Old Sun," that the pair tap into something akin to timeless musical telepathy. Her own talents hardly in need of burnishing, lang invests the project with some gratifying new smokiness and is rewarded with a postgraduate course in saloon singing for the ages. It's an album that begs the best kind of question: When do we get an encore? --Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
