█ Review by Ken Dryden █
█ █
█ Lauren White is one of a seemingly increasing number of vocalists █
█ attempting to follow in the footsteps of the highly successful vocalist █
█ Norah Jones. Though White has got some jazz chops and a pleasing voice, █
█ her debut CD is rather inconsistent, covering standards, pop songs, █
█ country and originals. The best tracks feature her with pianist Bill █
█ Cunliffe (who knows a thing or two about accompanying singers), while █
█ bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Mark Ferber lay a solid foundation █
█ throughout the album. "My One and Only" is not one of the Gershwin █
█ brothers' well known tunes, but White makes the most of this slinky █
█ opener. She doesn't seem to appreciate the humor in "Mack the Knife" as █
█ much as Ella Fitzgerald, so it comes off a little tame. Better is the █
█ unusual setting of "My Funny Valentine," sung with a sense of drama and █
█ adding a lush solo by tenor saxophonist Rickey Woodard. But then █
█ problems start to appear. Guitarist Anthony Wilson's dreary arrangement █
█ of Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" and Joe Bagg's lackluster organ do █
█ absolutely nothing for this normally delightful song, while the slow █
█ tempo makes the nearly seven minute performance seem like an eternity. █
█ The biggest mistake is tackling songs too closely associated with █
█ singers outside of jazz, then approaching them in a fashion that's too █
█ similar. "Blue Bayou" was a hit for Linda Ronstadt, while the late Karen █
█ Carpenter had a smash with Leon Russell's "Superstar," but neither of █
█ them is a convincing vehicle on what is supposed to be a jazz vocalist's █
█ date. Woodard is back for country singer Lee Ann Womack's "Why They Call █
█ It Falling," which sounds like something Norah Jones might perform, but █
█ the melody just isn't memorable. White's three originals are airplay █
█ friendly but not distinctive. In order to succeed as a recording artist, █
█ White is going to have to make some tough choices about her direction █
█ rather than the scattershot approach on her debut CD. Even her press bio █
█ accompanying the disc displays a degree of na∩vetΘ, listing Natalie Cole █
█ and Michael BublΘ as among the "jazz" artists who have inspired her, █
█ something that just won't cut the mustard with seasoned jazz listeners. █
