 Written on December 1, 2007 Summary: ALWAYS BUY ROBERTA GAMBARINI YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. I MORE OR LESS AGREE WITH THE TWO PREVIOUS REVIEWS. HOWEVER IF YOU WISH TO SAVE MONEY, BUY "LUSH LIFE" AND THE EXTRA TRACKS ON "YOU ARE THERE" on itunes. i also own DIZZY'S BUSINESS. roberta did 3 tracks on that cd with the DIZZY GILLESPIE ALL STAR BIG BAND. she did her virtuostic scatting, BLUE AND BOOGIE, MOODY'S GROOVE, along with STARDUST. see comprehensive review at www.wenjaz.blogspot.com along with a video of Roberta closing out the SINGAPORE JAZZ FESTIVAL 2007. I WOULD OWN EVERYTHING ROBERTA RECORDS AS I CONSIDER HER REACHING THE LEVEL OF THE BIG THREE , ELLA, SARAH AND CARMEN. if i could i would follow roberta around the world and tape everything she does.(as dean beneditti did with bird) i told her she should carry a pocket tape recorder and record everything as her product would be better than social security. her output so far is rather limited just 3 or 4 cds as she is still self produced. WHY A MAJOR LABEL DOESN'T BACK HER, I HAVE NO IDEA. she wins the JAZZ JOURNALISTS POLL AND THE DOWNBEAT CRITICS POLL, and you never see any ads promoting her cds. ALSO you have to see roberta live to appreciate her greatness. however at jazz festivals she might have only one set. at all star appearances, she only gets 2 or 3 tunes. however at club appearances, she might have 2 or 3 sets. STILL SHE'S ONLY GIVEN YOU A FRACTION OF HER VAST REPERTOIRE. SHE HAS TRANSCRIBED HUNDREDS OF SOLOS. AND YOU WON'T HEAR MUCH OF IT BECAUSE SHE THINKS IT'S WAY BEYOND THE GRASP OF THE AVERAGE LISTENER. SHE MAY BE RIGHT BECAUSE AT TELLURIDE SHE COMPLIED WITH AN AUDIENCE REQUEST BY SINGING THE COUNTRY TUNE "CRAZY". I'M HOPING SHE PUTS IT ALL OUT TOMMORROW NIGHT AT CATALINA'S IN HOLLYWOOD. I'LL LET YOU KNOW AT www.wenjaz.blogspot.com wenmew@verizon.net Written on October 1, 2007 Summary: nice follow-up to "easy to love" Ms. Gambarini has followed up "Easy to Love" with this set of tunes recorded in 2005 with pianist Hank Jones. As the previous reviewer has noted quite well, the CD, although excellent, does not showcase the full range of Ms. Gambarini's immense, explosive talent and, to that extent, disappoints slightly. For some reason, Ms. Gambarini boasts that these tunes, and a few others that evidently were omitted from the CD, were recorded with little preparation and in one less-than-five hour session. Perhaps with more preparation and/or additional "takes," Ms. Gambarini could have put a greater spin on the tunes and hence made them more her own. I was also disappointed somewhat by the production quality: the volume of Ms. Gambarini's voice at times wavers unnaturally a bit. This flux might be expected and tolerated on a live recording but not on a studio recording such as this. Despite my expressed concerns about what "might have been," this is still an excellent CD in which jazz-vocal lovers will take great pleasure and in which fans of Ms. Gambarini will surely revel. Written on September 2, 2007 Summary: Be forewarned. This CD is almost identical to the "Lush Life" CD. (5 stars for Roberta, but be careful with the CD). Following up on the success of "Easy to Love," Roberta Gambarini released a 2006 collection of fourteen songs, which is entitled "Lush Life" and which, to date, has achieved four, five-star ratings on Amazon under the ASIN of B000JLPKVE. "You Are There," THIS product, is almost exactly the same album, and Amazon's "Better Together" feature, on this page, in which they urge you to "Buy this album with Lush Life at $64.95," will surely disappoint anyone who loves Roberta enough to spend that kind of money for two CDs. Though both CDs contain fourteen songs and play at over an hour, ten of the fourteen songs from this CD are identical to those on "Lush Life." "You are There," this CD, omits "Skylark," "Body and Soul," "Cool Breeze," and "Lush Life #2," all of which were recorded in an exciting live performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival, and substitutes "People Time," "You're Getting to be a Habit," "Come Sunday," and "How Are Things in Glocca Morra." If you happen to love the four that are included here instead of the four "live" songs on "Lush Life," maybe this CD will appeal to you, but you must be willing to pay the very steep purchase price. If, for some reason, you decide to buy this CD INSTEAD of "Lush Life," you will find Roberta brilliant, as always. Limiting the accompaniment to just the piano of Hank Jones, she is very much a cabaret singer here, singing mostly slow, sad ballads with her gorgeous alto, and varying the phrasing to give new emphasis to the lyrics. There are no vocal pyrotechnics here, as she concentrates on the song itself, rather than taking it into new realms with improvisation and variation. The result is a wonderfully moody CD which has moments of excitement but only a few hints of her huge talent with scat and high energy jazz variations. n Mary Whipple |
