About The Record
On her latest album "Almost Blue", Laura Crema brings her own style to the classics, as her extensive vocal range only enhances the songs of Gershwin, Porter and Ellington. Hearing Crema's voice, you find that she truly has something for everyone, with a repertoire that includes music from the 20's, '30's right up to the '90's. And the way she handles the album's title track "Almost Blue" and "I Remember You" guarantee this singer's future in the world of jazz. Reviews
Marke Andrews, The Vancouver SunALMOST BLUE CREMA MAKES LOW NOTES GLOW LIKE COALS Vocalist Laura Crema opens her debut disc, recorded in Banff, Alta., with the bittersweet Elvis Costello title track, a ballad on which Crema communicates the emotional depth of the lyric, ably assisted by pianist David Restivo and bassist Kodi Hutchinson. Crema has a warm, resonant voice: on Someone in Love, she bathes the sustained notes with vibrato, and begining Cole Porter's All of You with just Hutchinson's bass for accompaniment, Crema makes the low notes glow like coals. The great Kenny Werner plays piano on a bluesy Stormy Weather, perfectly complementing the singer's lines. |
