4 out of 5 stars This Almost Got 5 Stars.......2007-01-18

Lesley Garrett has a gorgeous voice, that much is obvious. And it shines on tracks like Ave Maria, Bess You Is My Woman Now, Et Si Demain and The Summer Knows. While her voice is a bit heavy for a musical theater repitoire her renditions of A Boy Like That/I Have a Love and I Dreamed A Dream work really, really well. However she runs into problems on tracks like Work For No One/Blackbird, Mambo Italiano (which doesn't fit the mood of the rest of the album at all), and Over the Rainbow. I think that these are songs that sound better with a more relaxed, less "legit" sound which Garrett seems to have trouble with. It's definately worth getting for the highlights I mentioned above, as well as her duets but Michael Ball and Bryn Terfel. Both are lovely. Really the presence of a few awkward tracks keeps this from a 5 star rating

5 out of 5 stars wonderfull oh lesley.......2002-02-15

lesley has excelled herself with superb songs from most genres with a tearjerking performance of over the rainbow and a fab swing your hips time with the cool mambo italliano

5 out of 5 stars A New Exciting voice.......2005-05-23

A great straight ahead jazz album. Mr. Beckett is a new and exciting addition to the jazz world. I was delighted by his take on two standards in the jazz book, (Hammerhead and Once Forgotten) Tunes that I've played and know very well. His take on them made them both fresh and extremely enjoyable. Do yourself a favor especially if you are new to Jazz. Buy this album.
