This is a great album! I've actually seen Nancy King a couple times now, and this just mirrors who she is a what she does. It features her unique interpretation of lyrics, colors and tones in scatting, and moods that she creates in the music. She really is, in many ways, a "one-man-show". Though she is working with bass, or piano, or both at the same time, that's really all she needs. Other than that, she really stands on her own.She knows how to bring out the "loneliness" and intimacy of a ballad, like in "Night Club Skin", but then she can turn around and bring out the brightness and air of celebration of a bossa/latin, like in "I Sing For You". Don't be afraid to order this album. You're really gonna like it. She's similar to Carmen MacRae, in the sense that she's not "smooth", like Sarah Vaughn or "pretty" like Ella Fitzgerald. But she's got her own beautiful sound, with a bit of roughness and edge. She scats like a horn player, not like a singer trying to sound like a horn player, if that makes any sense.But seriously, if you've had any doubts, I hope this helps. You really should buy this album!
