[OscarPetersonFan]

Impresionante el bajista, tiene uan fuerza y unos fraseos espectaculares , se escucha en 0:55 y en otros momentos también.

Thank God she has discovered the standards, and she is good The Band is great, thats important.

[mca1218]

The lady fits in this genre beautifully- she's a little Dinah and a little Nancy Wilson, with some Ella earthiness and Sarah sass mixed in.

[TheJazzStreet]

@mca1218 and a little of pearl bailey

[littletownobethlehem]

I'm talking from Bethlehem channel instead of oohyllab, but yeah she reminds me of Pearl Bailey in a few ways. Great post!!

[undapar1]

she also has some Diana Krall style phrasing

[natavivi]

@undapar1 actually they're both following in the tradition of ella

[TheJazzStreet]

@natavivi mmm sure yes, but this song is actually by peggy lee

[natavivi]

@TheJazzStreet no i know ... ella did sing it actually (i heard an old radio performance of it once) ... hard to find though i don't think it's found it on youtube..... but i was talking about the approach to phrasing

First heard Latifah singing some big band blues a few years ago & my jaw dropped through the floor.

She's a TRUE diva. :)

[johneunson]

wow. i had no idea she did these songs. she is good...very good. any chance of hearing more. splendid. thank you.

[beeshor1]

To me, this album along with the "Dana Owens" album are the only real albums that Latifah ever made. She has a real talent for this genre. I'm hopeful that she will do more stuff in this vain. I love this track. Thanks JS.
