Torrent description

Roberta Gambarini Hank Jones - You Are There
Date: Feb 12, 2008
Label: Decca
Quality: CBR mp3 320 kbps

Start with a phenomenally gifted, rapidly ascending vocalist of the same heritage as Caruso and Sinatra, add as the sole pianist the musician who is the current reigning patriarch in jazz, and finally select a few sterling examples from the Great American Songbook. The results are predictably spectacular but not showy or exhibitionistic. This is not an album simply to be impressed by. Gambarini is sufficiently mature, and in command musically, that she can afford to use her virtually unlimited technique to one end: bringing the song to realization for all concerned--the composer, the performer, and the listener. Indeed, You are there.

Anyone who finds this music boring hasnt learned how to listen. If you have yet to discover the sound of surprise that is the hallmark of Sinatras suicide-song, saloon-song albums--Riddle-Jenkins masterpieces like Only the Lonely, No One Cares, In the Wee Small Hours, September of My Years, Close to You--or, for that matter, of Shirley Horns Heres to Life or of Jack Jones Paints a Tribute to Tony Bennett, a collection of ballads such as You Are There is apt to be out of reach, regardless of the performer.

To those who understand the American ballad, take notice. To the virtuoso, coloratura, Ella and Sarah credentials that Gambarini evidenced on her prior album (Easy to Love), she brings the crystalline elocution, the ear for narrative-dramatic-poetic meaning, the professionals attention to diction and phrasing that were the strong suits of Lady Day, Carmen McRae, and not least of all Old Blue. Some of the songs are more than familiar: Body and Soul is the most recorded song of all time, and Stardust not far behind. She revitalizes both, outfitting them in resplendent new clothes without changing the essential character of either. Other tunes are less familiar because singers either avoid them due to their difficulty or attempt them but get lost while trying to navigate the tunes hazardous harmonic/melodic progressions. Gambarini takes on notorious obstacle courses like Strayhorns Lush Life and Something to Live For, not to mention Dukes stirring and noble Come Sunday and Berlins poignant, heart-rending Suppertime, yet makes you forget about the musics difficulty factor. All that matters is the song--its melody and lyrics reassuringly commanding the listeners attention rather than any thoughts about the challenges to the performer.

Perhaps Deep Purple is as good a track as any for illustrating what this singer is made of. The tune is admittedly a venerable chestnut, one I dont recall hearing except in the context of amateur, nostalgic singalongs. A later artist is apt to pass it by quickly (forgivably so) because its apparently trite lyric, melody and chords dont seem worthy of the performers time and attention--the amorphous and hazy, abstract and even nonsensical lyric (Cole Porter would shudder), the extended near-moribund whole notes, the unvocal melodic leaps--in other words, an invitation at practically every measure for stagnation. No doubt Gambarini was aware of all this in electing to go after the song.

A casual listening will most likely dismiss the track as a pleasant reading of an old warhorse and little more. But such a response in itself testifies to Gambarinis success at making an awkward old duck sail by the listeners field of vision like an elegant swan. Now do a rewind and subject the performance itself to a close replay. After a verse introduction thats likely to leave even the most knowledgeable expert clueless about whats to come, she starts the familiar melody--an incisive, rock-solid E natural below middle C that effortlessly glides to the high note almost two octaves above it before floating down to the next resting point and then handing-off to Hank Jones for a chimerical chorus that breathes as though the pianist possessed vocal cords in each of his fingers. But shes not done yet. The last chorus essentially repeats the first but flows even more effortlessly, more reflectively, as the singer brings the meditative reverie to an immensely satisfying closure, connecting the realms of infinite desire and finite vast space that are the subject of this songs singularly abstract lyric. In fact, the alignment of the two realms is so complete the listener is apt to see the vocalists inserted cadenza on the final note--which amounts to, in effect, a reenactment of the songs octave leaps in microcosm--as proceeding naturally and logically from the requirements of the song itself rather than as a performers need to impress with a grand exit.

No more than two minutes in length, this single performance of a sentimental period piece is as immeasurably satisfying as any number of CDs and musical programs that this listener has encountered in the present millennium--and, far from a relic, ranks among the truly timeless performances that have been recorded since 1917 (the year of the first jazz recording). ~ Samuel Chell

Yes, You ARE There! It has a cabaret intimacy, and sensuousness. This is a perfect jazz recording with the combo of Roberta and Hank Jones. Robertas voice has a certain confidence and brightness. And when first hearing her sing i thought Je ne sais Quoi? It felt like the rush and sparkle as from a fine wine. Explanation?....the warm Italian ambiance is apparent. She definitely reminds us of Carmen McCrae---but without the melancholy undertones, and more like bliss instead. Anyway, isnt it a good thing to be compared to the gold standard (Carmen)? Heres a generous CD with 14 tracks and three pages of liner notes all written by Roberta. Sweet. ~ Howard S. Gay
