In Love Again - Plak

ENGLISH

Stacey Kent is back, with her regular combo, for an engaging tribute to Richard Rodgers. In addition to routinely covered songs like "It Never Entered My Mind" and "Bewitched", the Britain-based vocalist looks to the South Pacific book and comes up with two items seldom performed in a jazz context — "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "Bali Ha'i". Happily, these are two of the best cuts; the former, with its burlesque-ish 6/8 middle section, works amazingly well. The sound is strong, highlighting the nicely varied arrangements and the innate charm of Kent's puckish voice. <br /><br /> Recording: July and September 2001 at Curtis Schwartz Studios, Ardingly, UK, by Curtis Schwartz<br /><br /> Production: Jim Tomlinson
