Very intimate feel for smoky standards.:
Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer delivers a 70mm soundtrack set. George Clooney's critically lauded "Good Night, And Good Luck" masterfully recreates the 1950s aesthetic of America's McCarthy era and Diana Reeves' sublime soundtrack is a large part of its authentic feel. Backed by a superb band, jazz diva Reeves prowls through a selection of standards and other songs from the decade where communism terrified the United States. "Straighten Up And Fly Right", "Solitude" and a wee hours rendition of "One For My Baby" are real gems. As always, Ms. Reeves' phrasing is a delight and she is downright sassy when covering Dinah Washington's 1951 hit "TV Is The Thing This Year". "Pick Yourself Up" - memorable for Nat King Cole's version - is also transformed into a thriving mambo. Although Reeves is the undoubted star here, special mention must go to the tenor saxophone of Matt Catingub who, on the instrumental version of "When I Fall In Love", sounds like rump steak.
