Etta James - Blue Gardenia 

Original Release Date: August 21, 2001 

Audio CD: August 21, 2001 

Label: RCA Victor 

Bitrate: 320 kbps



The legendary blues singer indeed lives up to the silly cliché about being able to sing the phone book and make
it sound rich, meaningful, and soulful. Still, it's always exciting to hear her tackle materials she's missed before.
Here she shifts gears impressively into the intimate jazz club mode, performing beautifully arranged takes on a wide
variety of standards (from "Come Rain or Come Shine" to "Cry Me a River") under the direction of
producer John Snyder and arranger/pianist Cedar Walton. Those two gathered a handful of great jazz players and recorded
the initial tracks without James, who had a touch of the flu. A few months later she had recovered and did the amazing
vocal sessions which truly sound live and in synch with the music. Beginning with the redemptive theme of "This
Bitter Earth," each song allows her to explore both tenderness and guttural emotions, even a little irony on clever
twists like "He's Funny That Way." There are also perfectly placed spotlights for the featured musicians.
"This Bitter Earth" and "He's Funny That Way" feature a thoughtful improvisation by Walton, while
Duke Ellington's "In My Solitude" has a passionate interlude by tenor saxophonist Red Holloway. Most of the
vocals are textured over a bed of simmering brass, adding to the old school big band flavor that creates the atmosphere
for the project. It's certainly common for great artists to thank their parents for various influences, but James goes
one step further on the title track, allowing her mom to sing the tune; mom is no match for her daughter, but it's still
a unique touch that adds emotional dimension to an already emotionally rich affair. ~ Jonathan Widran - AMG



In the style of "Time after Time", Etta James sings these Jazz standards with such feeling it is hard not to
be moved or inspired by them. She refrains from going over the top and does not let any song become too bluesy,
resulting in an accomplished Jazz CD.  Highlights are "Don't let the sun catch you crying" and "My
man", where raw emotion mixes with technical ability and a great voice to be breathtaking. It may not be
traditional Etta, but it is a joy. ~ AllCDCover



This disc gives us a mature, world-weary Etta, who sings her heart out in this fabulous jazz album, mostly about the
slings and arrows of love, obsession, and in "He's Funny That Way", a recognition of one's own character
failures. One of the main strengths of the CD is the choice of material, which consists of some of the best melodies and
strongest lyrics ever written, and Etta wrings every ounce of soul out of them.  Outstanding are "Love
Letters", "Cry Me a River", and the one that sticks with me long after the CD is over is "My
Man". 



This is music that will be appreciated by those who have been through the mill and come out a little bruised; those
unscathed by life and love might not appreciate this recording, which may be one of Etta's finest, in the same way. 

The musicians are superb, and echo the vocals in feeling. Cedar Walton on piano, Ronnie Buttacavoli on trumpet, Josh
Sklair on guitar, and Red Holloway on tenor sax are stellar, as well as Tony Dumas, bass / Ralph Pendland, drums /
George Bohannon, trumpet, and on "Love Letters", Rick Baptist, flugelhorn and Ron Powell on percussion.  The
final track is sung by Etta's mother, Dorothy Leatherwood, and she'll bring a tear to your eye with her rendition of
"Blue Gardenia". 



Recorded between November of 2000 and March of 2001, the sound is terrific, and has a very intimate sound, as if one
were front row and center in a small club.  The fold-out insert has a song list, recording info and liner notes: no
lyrics, but one of the beauties of Etta's singing is her diction, and she makes every word understandable; there are no
"misheard lyrics" on this CD. ~ Alejandra Vernon
