Sophisticated, sexy and sure.......2004-04-16

No, my dears, this is not the Dinah you knew from her T.V. shows. This is a jazz singer, soft as silk, sleek as a breeze, sexy, insinuating and worldly wise. These two albums with the estimable Andre Previn are outstanding in every way and certainly a revelation about Shore's talents and abilities. She can do more than throw a smooch.

Dinah Shore just being herself.......2003-12-12

As a DJ played The Man I Love by Dinah Shore & the Andre Previn Trio(fro mthis cd) on a college jazz radio station in Southern California, the dj mentioned "No that wasn't June christy, it was Dinah Shore." First off that was a dumb comment, Shore couldn't fool a bozo into thinking she's Christy she doesn't need to, she is just herslef here, and that's as good as June Christy. It may surprise some, becasue Shore sounds like a jazz singer at least on 12 of the 22 songs(where she's backed just by Previn, or the trio), the other 12 selections are with Previn & strings, which are charming, but not nearly as great as the trio selections, which came fro mthe LP "Songs In A Midnight Mood." Shore's voice is pure and beautiful here, so sparse and not overproduced or weighed down, just Shore and a jazz trio. This is a great cd, and worthy of many, many listens, I never tire of it. Get this for someone who thinks Dinah cou;n't sing, it will proove them wrong.

Also get:
Doris Day-Andre Previn "Duet"(another pop singer in jazz trio setting)

Dinah Shore Sings Some Blues With Red Norvo(until it appears on cd, look hard for the lp)

and

June Christy-Duet(with just Stan Kenton's piano, talk about sparse)

A great romantic singer.......2001-05-30

Dinah Shore had a wonderfully expressive voice, and a technique an opera singer might envy. Previn is featured both as pianist and arranger/conductor: I like his rather classical approach to jazz piano, especially when he accompanies a singer, as he does superbly here.

Although recorded in 1960, the songs are all from the 30s and 40s and the mood is nostalgic. Dinah sings 'April in Paris' (including the rarely heard verse) with a real springtime freshness, as if she had never heard the Count Basie version, and she gives classic performances of 'My Funny Valentine' and 'I'll be Seeing You' with cool, restrained backings from Previn at the piano.

A great programme of romantic songs, performed romantically with a light seasoning of jazz.

Dinah Shore or June Christy???.......2000-10-31

This is not the Buttons & Bows Dinah Shore that you all know & love. This is La Dinah the jazz singer, who's spare yet warm vocals thrill on such jazz standards as April In Paris, where Shore is so convincing as a jazz singer she fools you into thinking you're listening to June Christy. This is one of two sessions Shore cut for Capital, the other was with Red Norvo's hot little jazz combo. This session features andre Previn's trio(though Previn's no Art Tatum, Shore's no Sarah Vaughan) It would have been nice if Shore were paired off with a jazz pianist worthy of her acceptional jazz talents that really came out, when in the proper jazz settings. However this set won't disapoint and Previn is in a jazzier mood then usual just enough to bring out the jazz singer in ala Shore. Here Dinah Shore proves beyond a doubt to be on the same level as Billie Holiday, Mel Torme, and June Christy. Here she uplifts some classic American popular music from the great songbooks, in the same class as Ella's songbooks. Great and recomended music.

I love jazz and this is Dinah singing it..........1999-11-13

Dinah Shore proves on this CD reissue of "Songs In A Midnight Mood" that she could sing in a jazz setting(being Andre Previn's trio) Yes Dinah sings and Previn plays songs for the midnight mood such as The Man I LOve, Sleepy Time Gal, It's Easy To Remember, plus many other tunes from the great American songbooks. Is Dinah a jazz singer listen to this fine CD and judge for yourself, it's certianly one of her best sessions.
