5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Grammy Winner 2009, 6 May 2008
By Alan Cross (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the opening intro to Lover Come Back which bounces along with guitar and piano before the trademark husky stylish vocals of Cassandra arrive soon to be joined by trumpet you are reminded how good jazz can be.

With Nigerian Master Drummer and Percussionist Lekan Babalola providing atmospheric backing this is an album that delights from start to finish.

Cassandra Wilson sings Jazz the way it should be and with an outstanding band behind her she swings stylishly through a collection of standards with her unique interpretations bringing new life to a beautiful Till There Was You, Black Orpheus, blues classic Dust My Broom and The Very Thought of You.

Production credit is to Cassandra and her variety of arrangements from soulful duets to Afro swing brings new life to great songs and reminds you why you fell in love with jazz in the first place.

Just found out it has been nominated for a Grammy - I knew it was special !!

Yes !!!! Grammy Winner for Best Female Jazz Vocal 2009.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "one star" rating for this gem is extremely unfair, 27 Jul 2008
I know and accept that we are all entitled to our opinions, but I find the one-star review for this CD given by one of the listeners impossible and, to be quite honest, a bit of an insult to serious jazz listeners, not to mention the great Cassandra Wilson herself, one of (possibly the best) the best jazz singers of her generation. I have this and all of her other albums, and I find this one particularly masterful in it's execution. The voice sounds fresher than ever and the musicians playing with her are nothing short of superb, each a master in his own right. To dismiss this as "dinner music" (as some apparently have) misses the point of the album entirely. In "Loverly", Wilson takes familiar music and transforms it, with elegance, intelligence and surperb finesse. This is music making of an extraordinarily high caliber. However, as with much of Wilson's more recent work, it require more than one listen to really "get" it -- a listener who dismisses at first hearing an unfamiliar approach from an ever-changing and developing artist might well jump to some very unfair and infortunate conclusions. Wilson has come a VERY long way since "Blue Lights Till Dawn" -- like a fine cognac, she just gets better and better with maturity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Loverly album, 22 Jun 2008
By J. D. Naylor "jazzfan" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is Cassandra Wilson's best album in years and make no mistake. Although most of the tunes are well worn standards Wilson interprets them in her own unique way making them like none that have gone before.It's also great to hear her being backed by the wonderful Jason Moran on piano who reins in his freeish jazz tendencies and delivers some nicely swinging solos. But the show,of course,belongs to Cassandra herself and boy is it a great one.Having road tested most of this material at the Camden jazz cafe last year amongst other places the band really are familiar and comfortable with this set of tunes.There are many highlites - "Wouldn't it be Loverly" is for me,the pick of the album and great to hear Cassandra swinging again,"St james infirmary" gets a modern update with a tight funky guitar grove,"dust my broom" is reinvigorated with some fuzzy electric guitar,"Caravan" works on a deep afro percussive groove and builds to it's storming climax and the album is rounded off with another nice swinger in "Sleepin Bee".A quality album from one of the worlds premier singers.One of the years best vocal jazz albums.
