Kimiko Itoh with Makoto Ozone "At the Montreux Jazz Festival"
Tracks/Audio - Press/Reviews - Production/Credits - Order CD
Japan's First Lady of Jazz is an astonishing vocal powerhouse as she swings and soars on the soul of the immortal Ella with such gems as "On a Clear Day" or "Sometimes I'm Happy" and then quickly turns a blue tone with crowd pleasers like "My Funny Valentine" and "Skylark".
"Kimiko's original and modern interpretations of familiar standards coupled with Ozone's expert interaction takes this recording to the very mountain peak of live performance." |
