L.Zaide – Planet Chill: Memoirs Of A Jazz Band
Sound: B Music:
B-
In a fascinating take on older standard classics, L.Zaide
tries a Cool Jazz vocal approach to said songs on his ambitiously titled CD Planet
Chill: Memoirs Of A Jazz Band (2005), featuring the following songs:
1) Fly Me
To The Moon
2) I Only
Have Eyes For You
3) I Fall
In Love Too Easily
4) Blue
& Sentimental
5) Night
& Day
6) Corcovado
7) Blue
Moon
8) April In
Paris
9) Caravan
10) You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To
11) Corcovado – The Chill Take
12) Night & Day – Planet L.Zaide Intro
Fans of these classics might enjoy the new approach, but
traditionalists like this critic will not enjoy them quite as much. I think as good as his voice is, the
approach glosses over the finer points of the songs, no matter how sincerely performed. This is one you will have to hear for
yourself to decide on. The PCM 2.0
16Bit/44.1kHz Stereo is a new recording and has good clarity, which is to be
expected, especially from this music genre.
Even if it is not your taste, you will not be able to complain much
about the sonics.
