2.0 out of 5 stars Oh Well, 30 May 2006
I too had heard good reports of Laura Zakian's live shows, and from people whose opinions I respect. I work in a jazz trio with a girl singer, so am always on the lookout for good material, and I bought the album out of genuine interest. Not sure what to make of it. The sound is very "live", which is no bad thing, and the musicians are pretty good, but the whole production is awfully British and not very convincing. Maybe it's just the recording, but Ms Zakian doesn't come over at all well - uncertain pitching, irritating, awkward vibrato - but the chief turnoff for me is the bleakness of the vocals. Even humourous items like Dave Frishberg's "Peel Me a Grape" (and if you do this stuff you are wide open to direct comparison with Kraal and Dearie) are not the slightest fun - all possible warmth is sacrificed to the general cause of (I imagine) sounding sophisticated or something. If Laura is really as good as I had heard, she must have a better recording to come, surely. Disappointing, but I'll stay tuned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swingin', 5 Jul 2006
Laura Zakian's 'Just One Of Those Things' is not only enjoyable and easy to listen to, but it has great jazz style and flair. There are well-known standards which swing with ease along with lesser known tunes, all with imaginative arrangements. The title track, Just One Of Those Things performed in a slow bossa nova gives the song a completely new make-over. Mad About the Boy has been given a soft sexy feel. Get this CD if you want to hear jazz sung in a refreshingly different voice.

4.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was great!, 31 May 2004
I have seen Laura a few times and was very excited to hear she had recorded a second album. I wasn't dissapointed. She has a sultry, swinging and sophisticated voice and her choice of material for this album is excellent. Stand out tracks are Whisper Not and Like Someone In Love. I highly recommended it.
