ERNESTINE ANDERSON: A Song For You HighNote, 2009 JAZZ VOCALS – One of the all-time greats of jazz & blues, the 80-year-old Anderson offers up a no-nonsense set of standards here. She’s backed by a band of straightahead swingers and sings with just a touch of soul, getting right to the point but with lots of sliding notes, quirky phrasing and other personal touches. Nice. * * * * | Fo’s Picks: 1, 4, 7, 8 1. 3:52 – upbeat, swinging bounce; Ernestine has fun with the melody 2. 5:51 – tender ballad: vocal a bit hushed with lots of expression, soulful sax 3. 4:35 – relaxed tempo, elastic vocal over straightforward backing 4. 7:09 – soft ballad: warm, cozy and romantic; quiet sax & bass solos 5. 3:26 – midtempo, a light bounce and a good mood 6. 6:10 – slow and casual, vocals get a bit bluesier on this one 7. 6:41 – happy midtempo swinger; gentle vocal, upbeat sax, jolly piano 8. 7:14 – slow, shimmering ballad, so sweet and heartfelt!
