Review

Kim Nalley has delivered a thoroughly tasty vocal album that combines both jazz integrity and blues sensibility. It is firmly in the tradition of the classic swinging combo recordings of Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday, yet possesses a soulful groove reminiscent of the Blues and R& B divas, Dinah Washington and Etta James. Whether sitting close to your speaker with a cocktail or out dancing up a storm, this CD will compel you to listen over and over again. "At Last" is given new life with a delectable, drawn-out vocal that evokes cocktails, fireplaces and bearskin rugs. Nalley's backing trio, Etta James' Pianist Dave Mathews, Bassist Jeff Chambers (Gonzalo Rubacla) and Drummer Kent Bryson (Johnny Nocturne Band), shimmers beautifully on a haunting, Latin version of Eden Ahbez' enigmatic ballad, "Nature Boy." It is easily one of the best recordings of that song in recent memory. The title cut is a rollicking boogie-woogie original; Nalley's double-take lyrics and! barrelhouse delivery fit nicely into the tradition of bawdy women's blues songs, and go a long way towards securing her place in that lineage. And the closer is a warmhearted take on "Our Day Will Come" that leaves the listener upbeat and wanting more.
