Hi everybody! I'm thrilled to be a part of mymaxcast.com and want to let everyone know that I just released my first self-titled jazz CD in Canada about 3 weeks ago. I'm getting a great response from the industry and below is my first review from jazz critic in LA! Irene Atman...Jazz Vocalist..2007 John Gilbert. California Coast Jazz, EJazz-News The seductiveness of the female voice in song, courts the soul of any man who listens. It is the lure of the siren and the irresistible call of the muse, Euterpe. Irene Atman has wisely chosen the tunes on this album for their melodious content and superb lyrics. She has parlayed this into one gem of a recording. "Shall We Dance". After a clarinet intro, Atman struts her way through a softly swinging version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's old chestnut. "That's All" is a bouncy ear pleasing number that is hip (and then some) featuring a rousing piano solo by McErlain matched by a stirring vocal by Atman. "The Very Thought of You" is a standard that has a message in the words that are defined by their brilliance. Bob DeAngelis' ultra cool sax solo fits perfectly into the scheme of things. Again Atman plays it straight and gets into the heart of this song with grace and elegance. Irene Atman sings the bottom out of every note in easygoing fashion on "If I Were a Bell". There is no extraneous fuss and clutter here just pure jazz at it's best. Fine ensemble backing is omnipresent throughout. "My Foolish Heart" is a composition with lyrics that are the epitome of the grand poetry found in the American love song. The pianistic artistry of Danny McErlain adds to the mystic quality of Irene Atman's superb approach. Irene Atman's clear articulation is an important factor in her style along with the ability to sing in tune and treat the lyrics with the respect that the composer intended. She does this with the ease of a seasoned performer who has found the essence of jazz vocalization and performs it with professionalism and God given ability. 5 STARS |
