Banu Gibson ranks at the top of her field, one of the very few creative singers in the 1990s interpreting music from the 1920s in the older style without directly copying any of the past greats. There are plenty of exciting solos on this CD from cornetist Charles Fardella, trombonist David Sager, the reeds (clarinet, tenor, and alto) of Tom Fischer, and pianist David Boeddinghaus, while the hot rhythm section often sounds like Fats Waller's group. Gibson always swings hard and she has a particularly strong (yet appealing) voice that is quite versatile. The material is highlighted by "I've Got My Fingers Crossed," "I Cover the Waterfront," "Ol' Pappy," and "Truckin'," but each of the 16 selections are quite rewarding. All classic jazz collectors should be aware of Banu Gibson and this CD (along with Swing Out 103) features her in prime form. ~Scott Yanow
You Don't Know My Mind
Many thanks Mat thanks for thinking of me, but alas, not the one requested
ReplyDeleteIf by chance you come across Banu Gibson - By Myself (unavailable in my country - yet) I would be forever in your debt).
Thank you- very good! If you ever get the chance to see her live, go for it, she's even better live.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, she's fun, but some other times, she's overdoing it. Depends on my mood.
ReplyDeleteThe link is dead. Can you kindly repost? Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteNew link posted! Please, one request of re-up at time. Thank you!
DeleteMany thanks Giullia and apologies for asking for two re-ups.
