on NPR, Voice of America, CNN TV enEspaņol, and Primetime A&E,
"Jackie bridges gaps between both geography and generations," as
BILLBOARD aptly puts it, and delivers 15 songs you can both fall
in love with...and fall in love to.
Whether you are in the mood for a sensuous Brazilian love song,
or a passionate Spanish bolero, a rarely performed jazz gem or a
sizzling classic - young or young at heart - these songs will
keep the home fires burning. Two-time GRAMMY-Award nominee Ernie
Watts and the legendary Red Holloway (sideman to Billie Holiday,
B.B. King, Muddy Waters) ignite the sessions with their
incendiary sax, backed by some of the jazz world's finest
musicians: Jon Mayer, Tamir Hendelman, Larry Vuckovich, Jeff
Hamilton, Jeff Chambers and a host of others.
Jackie turns up the heat on this journey through the full range
of romantic feelings - from the opening flirtations of "You'd Be
So Nice To Come Home To" to the sensuous burning desires of
"Make It Last". From the amorous musings of "This Heart Of Mine"
to the final tender sweet reflections of "While We're Young".
All the bases of love are touched - all with stunning
arrangements and stellar accompaniment. Selected from three
recordings released from 2002 to 2006, this collection reflects
the breadth of this artist's myriad musical gifts.
Sizzling swing standards. Classic romantic ballads like Harry
Warren's "Serenade In Blue," and Ray Noble's "The Very Thought
Of You." A swinging guitar take of Oscar Hammerstein's "When I
Grow To Old To Dream" and a poignant harp arrangement of
Livingston/Evan's "You Are There." Gentle Brazilan gems and
passionate Spanish love songs - rounded out by two original
compositions graced by her own insightful lyrics.
