In 1991 the surprise is there! Natalie released her new album "Unforgettable With Love" and not Unforgettable "full stop"! And then the surprise gave us some chills, chicken flesh singing "with" her father died twenty-six years earlier. The Jazz A certain newspapers, many of us have run buy this record! Furthermore she sings with her father singing itself post mortem on a screen behind her, it takes guts! I remember well, "said some business" while I was shouting "no, sublime" and it was and will remain!
From the first song "The Very Thought Of You" we enter this clean cozy atmosphere to the Cole family (Coles in truth)
and violins are not there for nothing, nor the finely tuned piano.
Then come "Paper Moon" that does not insensitive either leaves, much more jazz, more rytme, fuller Jazz swing.
"Route 66" in third place leaves tell us the instruments with the sublime voice of Natalie history of this legendary road in the same rhythm as "Paper Moon."
In 4 we hear the famous slow "Mona Lisa" to melt a road not nice at all! Accompanied by a guitar and orchestra is ... beautiful. then 5 "LOVE" eternal song in the world of jazz with a superb muted trumpet chorus that mean? Listen that's it!
6 "This Can not Be Love" Jazz Jazz so that capacity, big band there ava bob train for the first time in this drive battery has its place with a very strong voice Nath, succulent! 7 "Smile" a beautiful intro of the orchestra to announce that gentle but assertive voice, signature Nathalie Cole. Slowly-Jazzy, deliciously ambient violins, I know some one (s) that come out the handkerchiefs.
8 "Lush Life" "Luxury living (luxurious)" literally, but that luxury is not apparent, intrinsic to the life of Nathalie, rather, that sweetness and that song that we think come from gilded palaces evokes something else " imperceptibly "with full of love. Inconsistent, not if you listen carefully. 9 "That Sunday That Summer" Hollywood Choir opens this title and Nathalie Cole's voice accompanied by a full orchestra accompanied by the muted voice, as in a movie. A short solo soprano saxophone positioned, this is still a touchy song in final soft as a breeze on the violins and the caress of these female voices going so well with that of Nathalie.
10 "Orange Colored Sky" a remake of "Stormy Weather"? Not at all! Surely the voice of Nathalie Jazz will take a very rapid pace and the orchestra is very present a real vocal exercise that here close at times scat.
11 Well we went in 7'26 "medley with" For Sentimental Reasons "" Tenderly "and" Autumn Leaves ". While to melt a mad mercenary! Wahoo! So then, blow gently but violins, tenor saxophone velvety Getz, a glockenspiel chime comes as a breeze. In "Dead leaves" violins are in perfect harmony with the mild tenor sax. Suddenly Nathalie tries in French, thank you to forgive him. A harp finishes this fabulous and very known medley.
12 "Straighten Up And Fly Right" ("you up and running right" not literal translation in French, for me at least) A very fast song and my translation must be good, at least it goes very well with lively music , solo piano, electric guitars, binary rhythm good jazz coming out of other titles sung here. 13 "Avalon" Come on, you know! NO? And so listen well this lady singing and the orchestra on this fast paced and very experienced. 14 "Do not Get Around Much Anymore" A piece of de-choice standardized by Nathalie and flamboyant orchestra (famous) 15 "Too Young" Beautiful introduction of the orchestra, Nathalie takes that soft voice that we love so with as only piano accompaniment up to 1'15 that's all the orchestra that will accompany ... fondly to this youth evoked by the sound of strings and muted trumpet, a little faster and the time sefface angelic voice softly.
16 "Nature Boy" Well, then I think you know me, if not stop reading and go buy this disc express! The Jazz in these wonders. Whether it is or Nat Nathalie this title is one of the best known standards, but with "the daughter of his father," it is quite another thing. The violins begin this piece of choice and immediately the voice of Nathalie will come flatter our delicate pavilions. Nathalie pushes his high voice. Nathalie flies with this fun sing it for ours piano chorus and Nathalie flew again. Nature Boy is a standard too.
17 "Darling, I love you" Again Nathalie tries to french successful now, but quickly leaves our language, against it will keep the title in French throughout the song. A beautiful melody and a voice "Like a breath in the wind". A thousand pardons for the resemblance to André Brink. 18 "Almost Like Being In Love". Very Music Hall this title takes us in a hurry to get closer to a more natural jazz, scat singing then fast again.
19 "Thou Swell" Big Band and from there we are in a fast paced, Big Band associated, singing Nathalie goes fast, very fast as if to put a maximum of words in 1'50.
20 "No Dimenticar" Nathalie finds here his soft voice mixed with sweet orchestral instruments that will follow, omnipresent. Always these little breaths tenor sax that come in reinforcement to the sensual voice of Natalie Cole.
21 "Our Love Is Here To Stay" This is the voice that predominates, predominantly sensuality, cut more vivid phrasing. Chorus piano to announce the return of "The Voice". It's beautiful .... that's it ....
22 "Unforgettable with Love" Nat Nathalie and I've talked a lot about you top this comment ... Beautiful and you really had to have guts at Nathalie to achieve this feat ............. ........................
If you do not have this disc it is urgent for you to acquire it, it is just wonderful. Unless you did not love nor jazz nor beautiful voices!
Christian.
