Notes
Souvenir Of You - New Lyrics to Benny Carter Classics, the debut release from multitalented vocalist/lyricist Deborah Pearl is a remarkable musical memento that's been two lifetimes in the making! The brilliant instrumental melodies of multiple Grammy-winning jazz legend Benny Carter have been given voice through the lyrics and singing of Ms. Pearl, whose deep friendship with Carter and his beloved wife Hilma served as inspiration to this truly wondrous work. Pearl hopes this recording, a real labor of love, will bring to today's jazz singers and their audiences the musical genius of this bandleader, composer/arranger, saxophone and trumpet soloist, whose artistry created a template for the Swing Era and beyond, in a career that spanned a staggering eight decades. Ms. Pearl, a talent with abilities nearly as broad as Mr. Carter's himself, finally brings her long recognized excellence as a singer into the spotlight, having been diverted by her success as a tv and screenwriter (Designing Women, Waiting For Yvette) and playwright (Incomplete Strangers, About Sex). The result is a refreshing new sound that is simultaneously novel and mature, filled with artistry, wisdom and wonder. As a child, Pearl loved to perform by lip-syncing to jazz great Dakota Staton. Her youthful turn in pop, club and jingle singing - jazzing and blusing it up - all prepared her for this project. Carter himself told Pearl that "she could be a jazz singer" and "has a phenomenal range" more than a decade ago after attending her critically acclaimed one-woman show, Chick Singers, in which she portrayed eight different female vocalists, from classical and country western to jazz and blues. Reviewers agreed, from Backstage West "superbly written and performed" to "Pearl could have a career just as an accomplished jazz singer." to LA Weekly's "blessed with a wonderful alto voice" to LA Times' "Pearl saves the best for last, performing songs as herself." Two years ago, Carter's widow asked Pearl to evaluate an unsolicited lyric sent to her for Benny's beautiful "People Time." That neither was impressed was fortuitous - they decided Pearl would put her writing skills to work on the composer's music. In the words of Carter's biographer, Ed Berger (whose encyclopedic knowledge of all things Benny Carter gave Pearl much insight), "Deborah Pearl's longtime friendship with Benny and Hilma Carter has given her a deep appreciation of Benny Carter, the man, and special insights into his music. She is the ideal person to put lyrics to these quintessential Carter melodic masterpieces and to perform them with the sensitivity and understanding they deserve." As you're about to hear... The CD gets off to a swinging start with the great Carter himself, LIVE!, leading his Big Band and the Rutgers University Orchestra on "Happy Feet" from his MusicMasters Harlem Renaissance recording. Pearl jumps in singing her hip lyric "Happy Feet (At The Savoy)," a nod to the amazing dancing at the legendary Harlem Ballroom (where Benny first met Hilma back in 1939). From there the vocalist and her trio -- pianist Lou Forestieri, bassist Kenny Wild and drummer Jimmy Branly - mesh seamlessly with Carter and the orchestra, trading off instrumental and vocal sections. Pearl opens with "Dancin' to the beat that's on the street/Kickin' to the beat with happy feet," later rhythmically fulfilling Carter's prophetic vision of her abilities as a jazz singer with a scorching scat chorus, followed by Carter's own solo with the orchestra with Pearl doubling the altoist's line on the final chorus, followed by Forestieri's piano solo that returns the trio to backing the singer before she takes things out with the full orchestra. Pearl's imaginative words to Carter's joyously lilting melody "Wonderland (Isle Of Love)," finds her full bodied voice conjuring images of the composer's first meeting with Hilma and the exhilaration of love at first sight. Her ability to craft a vivid story to a nimble m

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received the Adolfo Couture 2 oz in the red and gold box you sold me two days ago. I apologize I didn't leave my review until now. It was full, in the box and it sprayed without any problems. It's priced well for the time. You couldn't have packaged it any better. It came in a timely manner. It is Adolfo Couture by Francis Denney. This was better than described. It's 99.99% pristine. I finally have one of the last bottles of this fantastic cologne. Thank you!
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book arrived well-packaged and in better condition than as described. Shipping was quick, and this was an excellent value — a lower price than I’ve found for editions in worse shape elsewhere. My only very minor comment is that it would be helpful to mention that this is volume 2 of 2, which I didn’t catch because my German is poor. Regardless I’m very pleased and would absolutely buy from this seller again.
