Verve Ask A Woman Who Knows

Amazon.co.uk Ask a Woman Who Knows reunites Natalie Cole with producer Tommy LiPuma, who produced "Unforgettable" and was the hit maker behind George Benson and Diana Krall. This collection is a classic blend of jazz-inflected pop, with the best and the brightest in the business. Backed by a plethora of stars, including trumpeter Roy Hargrove, bassist Christian McBride, pianist Joe Sample and drummer Lewis Nash, Cole delivers her lithe, Ella Fitzgerald-tinged vocals in a number of pleasing settings. Whether it's the Brazilian sound of Sergio Mendes' "So Many Stars," the scat-happy "My Baby Just Cares for Me" or the big band swing of "It's Crazy" and "Soon", courtesy of the Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra, Cole projects her aura on to songs once sung by Sarah Vaughan, Barbara Streisand, Nina Simone, and Dinah Washington. Natalie Cole is a jazzy soul survivor in the literal sense of the term, and this recording represents her finest hour. --Eugene Holley Jr. Product description International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.
