Feel the Warm Description
|
|
|
Listening to '70s efforts by vintage jazz singers can often be a disappointing experience (bad song selection, flimsy arrangements, crossover embarrassment), but this 1971 album by the master crooner himself, Billy Eckstine, manages to make it out alive and with more than just a few highlights. Featuring a fetching mix of jazz-ballad symphonics and soul-lite grooves, Feel the Warm (that's right, not "Feel the Warmth") finds Eckstine in good form with enough interpretive savvy to make up for any loss of power. This is especially true on the album highlight, "Make It With You," in which he reshapes the pop hit into a hip soul-jazz swinger. And that goes for other forays into the day's hits, including takes on the Elvis Presley favorite "Walk a Mile in My Shoes," Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With," and the Carpenters' hit "We've Only Just Begun." The kitsch conversant and open-minded are cleared for entry; jazz purists and nostalgic vocal fans need not apply.
