Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Don't Talk, named after the Beach Boys' song, is Clare Teal's fourth album, her first with this label, and will come as no disappointment to her growing legion of fans. Combining a mixture of old standards and her own material, the album is a great platform for the Yorkshire woman's talent. Ranging from the big-band sound of "Messin' with Fire", with echoes of Peggy Lee in Teal's vocals, to the delightfully hypnotic samba rhythm and striking guitar solo on "So in Love", Don't Talk is an extremely polished production. Teal puts her own distinctive stamp on covers that include favourites from Duke Ellington and Dusty Springfield. The only disappointment on the album is her version of Etta James' classic, "I Just Want to Make Love to You", but big-band fans may enjoy it. She doesn't shirk from embracing a wide range of styles, including funky soul, Latin rhythms, heartfelt ballads and a '50s sounding "The Music Goes Round and Round", which sounds a lot like the Andrews Sisters in their prime. Teal is riding the new jazz wave that carries Norah Jones and Katie Melua, but this album has a depth and maturity that sets her apart from the crowd. --Amy Anderson

Product Description
Don’t Talk is Clare Teal’s debut on the Sony Jazz label and includes more renditions of classic songs in her own inimitably jazz style. Features "Messin' With Fire", "You Bring The Best Out In Me" and "I Just Want To Make Love To You".

5.0 out of 5 stars A showcase for Clare's talents, 18 Oct 2004
Clare teal has been described as a modern-day Ella Fitzgerald and judging by her first Album from Sony this description is not far from the truth.
Don't talk features some of Clare's own songs intermixed with some old standards and some more modern works from other composers. It has an excellent 'big band' version of Clare's Messin With Fire (a track that appeared on three of her earlier albums) - and she really does sound like Ella on this version. There's also a big band version of the Etta James classic I Just Want To Make Love To You which works really well. There are some slower sentimental tracks - What are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life, Mood Indigo and the title track, Don't Talk, are the pick of the bunch. Stoned Soul Picnic is Clare's tribute to Laura Nyro and it works well. Close your eyes, sit back and listen to The Music Goes Round And Round and you are transported back to the era of the Andrews' Sisters.
If you are already a fan of Clare then this CD is definitely for you. If not, but are into smooth jazz or big bands, then this is a great intro to Clare Teal's work - it has everything. If for no other reason, it's worth buying for Clare's own composition You Bring Out The Best In Me - just brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put a smile on your face, 18 Oct 2004
By mrsdanvers (Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Clare Teal has paid her dues and honed her voice working the jazz clubs and festivals up and down the country for the last 4 years. On this, her fifth album ( and the first for a big label) all that hard work has paid off.

"Don't Talk" is an assured, confident album with not one mediocre track on it. Including material ranging from Willie Dixon, through Cole Porter, to three brand new original numbers penned with her writing partner Amanda Field, every track is a demonstration of Clare's rich voice. She still has the sexiest voice in jazz!

From the big band swing of "Messin' with Fire" to the haunting rendition of Cole Porter's "So in Love" Clare can't do any wrong for me.

She widens her range beyond the mainstream jazz classics to cover two very different Sixties numbers; Laura Nyro's funky "Stoned Soul Picnic" and the Beach Boys delicate harmonies on"Don't Talk (put your head on my shoulder)".

Signing to Sony Jazz seems to have given Clare the time and money to use big band and orchestral arrangements to excellent effect on "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" "The Music Goes Round and Round", "In a Mellow Tone" and "What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life".

For me, the best tracks are those where the dominant instrument is Clare Teal's fantastic voice; "So In Love", "Falling for You" and "You Bring Out the Best in me" - augmented by Mike Outram's beautiful guitar playing.

Clare Teal sounds as if she sings with a big smile on her face, listen to the samba "Everything is You" and you'll know what I mean.

Brighten up your autumn; put a smile on your face and listen to "Don't Talk".

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything is Clare, 30 Jun 2005
I got this album because I had The Road Less Travelled, and it did not dissappoint. I was singing along to Messin' With Fire within seconds and I love Clare's version of In A Mellow Tone. The band are great, and all solo sections are exciting to listen to, especially Peter Long on the saxophone. Mood Indigo is a really emotional song, and Clare does it well, as with Falling For You, which she wrote herself.
I would reccomend this album to anyone who loves jazz or anyone who bought and of her other albums.
