Customer Reviews

Fill your world with soft romance..
Her voice soars as clear as a mountain stream. Which contrasts so well with the saxophone riffs. She is quite simply amazing. This is not my first Jane Monheit album so I knew what to expect to some extent. I did not even know who she was until I heard her duet with Steve Tyrell.The songs here are late night dinner party jazz, which can be seriously listened to if you wish. A neighbour describes it as seduction music,and another as 2.30 am music. Make of it what you will this is a gentle album that will fill your world with soft romance. Moon River, a beautiful song in its own right is covered by her as if she is singing to the moon itself.

An album of two halves.
It goes without saying that you really need to be a "jazz" fan if you're really going to enjoy this. We're not taking Norah Jones here.

It's an album of two halves really. When belting out standards such as Moon River or A Time For Love, we're in Disney soundtrack land, with schmaltzy strings overpowering Monheit and stifling any sense of her personality.

But on the likes of the title track, Monheit becomes a much more enticing prospect. There's also a strong South American influence on hand, with such tracks as Caminhos Cruzados and So Tinha de Ser Com Voce showing just how good Monheit is. Bright, breezy and sexy...what more could you ask for?
