Rebecca Kilgore has developed into a first class interpreter of classic material and on this album she is accompanied by four musicians who are sympathetic to her style of vocalising. Rossano Sportiello has taken over the role vacated by Dave McKenna and John Bunch on their demise. Like Scott Hamilton Harry Allen knows when to fill the spaces and when to stay in the background, his solos are an added bonus. Joel Forbes on bass and Kevin Kanner on drums rounding out a superb team.
The album opens with a medley of two songs associated with Peggy Lee “I Like Men / I’m just wild about Harry” but Miss Kilgore puts her own stamp on them and with Harry Allen contributing a swinging solo on the second tune it makes for a very satisfying track.
The title track from the James Bond film “Goldfinger” would not appear to be suitable material for a singer of the calibre of Miss Kilgore but she pulls it off with ease and turns it into something of quality. The same could be said of Frank Loser’s “Marry the man today” but combined with attractive solos from both Harry Allen and R4ossano Sportiello Rebecca turns it into an easy paced swinger.“Ballad of a sad young man” is Harry Allen and the rhythm section with Harry providing a sensitive ballad reading 9of the song with Rossano Sportiello catching the mood with a fine solo.
It is not we hear songs like Harold Adamson and Hoagy Carmichael’s “Down boy” and Harold Arlen and Truman Capote’s “One man ain’t quite enough” on many singer’s albums but Rebecca Kilgore is prepared to dig a little deeper and uncover gems like these and is to be applauded.
This is one of the best vocal albums I have heard in some time and with such a class backing group it’s got to be a winner.
