| Mary Witt: ’Dance With Me’  Mary Witt celebrates the release of her first solo CD, Dance With Me. Sultry, soulful, and sassy, this album will make you swoon and kick up your heels. The music spans various genres from swing and jazz to rhythm & blues and soul. It glides seamlessly from the old favorite ballad "The Very Thought Of You" to the upbeat swing tune "Almost Like Being in Love". New Orleans hit "Teardrops From My Eyes" segues to Cab Calloway's "Everybody Eats When They Come To My House" with a contemporary culinary flavor. Also included are Ray Charles' "Roll With My Baby" and Frank Sinatra's "Come Dance With Me", the title cut.Sure to become a classic, Dance With Me lulls the listener into wanting to be in love, even in a most ironic twist described in Freddie Cole's "A Sinner Kissed An Angel". Taking an Audrey Morris song "How'd Ya Like To Love Me?" and turning it into a duet captures the sweet, longed-for corniness of the 1940's. Lou Rawl's rendition of "Fine Brown Frame" gets a facelift to include reference to a current star. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
