Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars When her voice was good.......2006-04-08

I purchased this record when it came out in vinyl on an obscure label in 1981. It is one of the better female jazz vocal records out there, not only because of her talent, but her selection of songs as well. It was also recorded when her voice was quite likely at its peak. Now, Meredith can't belt out a song like a Sarah Vaughan, nor can she express herself like a Blossom Dearie. Still, this is a wonderful piano bar sort of record, and it's too bad it didn't get more notice.

5 out of 5 stars Great songs, evocative singing.......2002-10-09

This album is simple, quiet, beautiful, with great material. gentle and full of feeling. The jazz tinge here is subtle, but definitely present, exemplified by a wonderful performance of Dave Frishberg's Dear Bix. The other reviwers have it right. Definitely a keeper.

5 out of 5 stars best of the bunch.......2000-12-22

I own 7 Meredith CDs. Another Time is my favorite, ever since it came out on LP in the early 80's. There's a basic purity on this recording, just piano and voice, combined with outstanding material that makes this the one I return to again and again.

5 out of 5 stars An evocative pastoral masterpiece.......2000-11-21

This 1981 album, the second album made by d'Ambrosio, is simply one of the best vocal jazz albums I know. Featured are a number of songs written by the late Alec Wilder and three songs associated with the late Irene Kral, another low-voiced singer who seems to have been an influence on d'Ambrosio. The programming and performances on the album evoke a laid-back, pastoral, sometimes melancholy mood. "Lazy Afternoon" is particularly atmospheric, and I've never heard Wilder's "While We're Young" done any better than this. But these are merely two of many highlights. The songs are done with only piano accompaniment, provided by d'Ambrosio herself. She is one of the best singer/pianists around.
