| "Remarkable for the bright lights Fay lets shine on standards everybody likes, but too many times have been recorded in the old routine. No routine at all this time. Spontaneous like a live recording but controlled by the rich sound of a music studio - also a remarkable combination.
When I hear Fay sing, I'm sure she did her homework listening to the great voices, not to copy a style but building up her own style with all the ingredients that make jazz a unique form of art. Her timing of the musical phrases are superimposed over the regular phrases and the out-of-meter timing against the basic timing make you think these songs were jazz originals, but we know most of them were written for musicals. Nearly every number is in a different arrangement and to my surprise "All Of You" is accompanied only with the bass. Maybe next time Fay will change the lyrics "I love the looks of you" to "I love the sound of you". I think love is the reason for staying in Amsterdam and we are also lucky to have Fay in the area so the New York jazz fans have to learn to live without her.- Wim Wigt
Recorded at Kwetterhof Studios/Greenfields Forever/Popschool, Amsterdam, 31 March 1997, 24 April 1998, 30 April 1998. |
