Nice CD, nice voice

Just downloaded this CD after reading the good review of it.

Jazz

Charito, Watch What Happens: Charito Meets Michel Legrand (CT Music), Original Release Date: August 20, 2008. Yes, Virginia, Michal Legrand is not only alive and well at the age of 77 but, if a Philippine-born and raised jazz singer from Japan goes to France and expresses enough admiration for him, the great French composer/pianist will make a whole disc with her. He’ll play piano, lead the orchestra and scat sing along with her on a couple of tracks. If you listen to Charito’s vibrato on quieter notes, it sounds a lot like Joni Mitchell’s (and her recent imitator, Diana Krall’s). Legrand has always been sui generis, a combination jazzman and gushingly melodic Roman-tic whom jazz musicians from Miles Davis to Phil Woods have loved playing with. Whatever he is, no one is more French. Which makes this new disc of his music with Charito about as international as music gets. And in this case, a pleasure to hear. ★★★(J. S.)
