Format:DVD
Lisa Stansfield has developed a reputation for recording jazz classics on various side projects despite having enjoyed massive global success as a pop/R&B/dance diva in the 90s through the millennium years. Lisa was first introduced to jazz via Diana Ross' soundtrack to "Lady Sings the Blues". She credits Diana Ross' music for getting her into the business.
"Swing" is a charming little Brit indie love story of a young jazz ensemble looking to get their big break. The music is a mixture of jazz classics with originals written by her long time collaborator husband/producer, Ian Devaney. The songs are in the swing tradition obviously. So if you are looking for more torch-like performances this is much truer to swing.
Lisa's vocals are as strong as they are in her many gold and platinum albums in her discography.
As she decides what direction to take her music next, Lisa has been taking on various acting projects. She and Hugo Speer, the sexy bloke from "The Full Monty" play a wonderful romantic duo with challenges and apt jazz cred.
If you are a fan of Lisa's music, which I am, this is a neat addition to your catalog. If you like indie movies, this one fits in with some of the best of that year. If you are a fan of swing music, this will not disappoint.

Just loved this. I got it on video when it first came out after seeing it at the cinema. Big fan of Lisa Stansfield love her voice and she's not a bad actress too. Of course the lovely Hugo Speer is brilliant, (he of the lunchbox in the Full Monty). It's just a great feel good film. Great story, lots of fun and the music is just brilliant. Also both my hubby and 15yr old son enjoyed it too.

The cover for the DVD is not in English which is not stated in the decription (although it mentions being an import - this could be from USA!)
