As seen on the 2007 Jerry Lewis Telethon, Pamela Luss is a contemporary jazz vocalist blessed with a beautiful voice, remarkable timing and sumptuous intonation. On the heels of her highly acclaimed Your Eyes (SCD 2083), she sings classic standards, swinging jazz, and worthwhile tunes from some of the unexplored corners of the Great American Songbook in a fresh and original way. For Magnet, her third album on Savant, Pamela teams up with a stellar cast of accompanying soloists, including the veteran Houston Person and the rising stars Joel Frahm, Dominick Farinacci, and Mike Moreno, all led by the outstanding pianist-arranger John di Martino and renowned producer Todd Barkan. In addition, there's a very special duet between Pamela and the venerated vocalist Freddy Cole, which is truly a once-in-a-lifetime magical pairing. Find out why, on her previous album, Chris Loudon of Jazz Times wrote that she sings "quite possibly the finest-to-date interpretation of 'How Do You Keep The Music Playing?'," and added "She knows how to break [your heart] with excruciating tenderness."
Pamela Luss' third CD for Savant is her most rewarding thus far. That is due to an inspired repertoire, her increasingly mature interpretations of lyrics, and an indescribable magic that occurs on most of these selections. Luss is a jazz singer who does not scat, she sticks to the lyrics, and she keeps her improvisations consistently melodic. The improvising is in her placement of notes and in the feeling that she gives to the words. While she at times displays a high voice, particularly during the first few selections of Magnet, at other times she sounds surprisingly comfortable in her lower register. Pianist John DiMartino, who contributed most of the arrangements for this project, is a major asset. The variety, which is emphasized in the arrangements, can be felt in a repertoire that ranges from a heartfelt "Why Did I Choose You" and the ironic "No, Not Much" to the sentimental "Glad to Be Unhappy," a slow ballad version of "Quiet Nights" (with no bossa nova in sight) and a cooking "More." Accompanied by a top-notch rhythm section (with three different bassists taking turns), Luss is also occasionally joined by a horn player (tenor great Houston Person is on six selections) and takes "No, Not Much" as a vocal duet with Freddy Cole. This well-conceived set is highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
