 WHAT A MARVELOUS VOICE SHE HAS April 17, 2008
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND SUCH A VOICE TODAY .Propably impossible to find something similar .BEST JAZZ VOCAL ALBUM IN THE WORLD ALONG WITH PATRICIA BARBER S MODERN COOL.IF WE ARE LUCKY AND PATIENT SOMETHING NEW OF THE SAME QUALITY MAY COME OUT IN THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS OR SO BY ANOTHER ARTIST.IF NOT IT WILL NOT BE SO BAD BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A SIGN WARNING US THAT REAL MUSIC HAS LOST ITS HUMAN ROOTS .
Awesome CD September 17, 2007
I really enjoy listening to Rachelle's CD. She is an awesome singer as well as a great musician.
Outstanding! April 11, 2007
I saw rachelle in Los Angeles and was not impressed, she did a lot of R&B. I just got turned on to this CD and find it one of the most incredible Jazz albums ever. It is too bad she would rather do R&B, there was truely room in the universe for another great jazz vocalist.
 Some fine singing January 22, 2007

First of all, I liked this CD, but was not exhillarated like most of reviewers....
Extraordinary vocal capacity is but one of the prerequisits of a great singer; for instance, compared to Ferrell, Billie Holiday had limited vocal range, but her rhythmic abilities, subtle melodic imagination and the quality of tone (timbre) made her a divine singer... She had, I guess and inborn tallent for interpretation, like Sarah Vaughan, Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Jon Hendricks and other great jazz vocalists.
Rachelle Ferrell is very strong on vocal technique, her sense of rhythm is excellent but somehow her interpretations are not fully satisfactory to me. It would be silly to speak of "the soul" of her singing, but at points, although fine, it sounds almost mechanical, with insufficient expressiveness in slower tempos, where her vocal gymnastics cannot be so prominent...
I'm sorry to hear she mostly recorded R$B music; this album shows promise for becoming a true vocal giant some day...

the music is great, the cd is made cheaply (too thin) the cd plays on my boom box but will not play in my auto cd player or my dvd player connected to my television.
