5 out of 5 stars Smooth and Sexy.......2003-07-27

I highly recommend 'Duboc' to lovers of smooth, sophisticated and sexy female jazz vocalists. Carol's range is astonishing, and this CD wonderfully demonstrates her evolving talents and intelligent, emotional interpretation of the material. 'Duboc' places Carol firmly at the top of her genre, right up there with Sade, Anita Baker, Patti LaBelle and other better known but not necessarily more talented contemporaries. The fact that she's also an award winning composer and lyricist helps to explain her obvious understanding of the complex themes that she expresses so beautifully with her voice.

5 out of 5 stars Sexy & Sassy ..her voice says it all!!.......2003-02-07

Fantabulous cd..this is my first encounter with Carol Duboc; fabulous variety of themes and rhythms..great rendition of the Burt Bacharach's oldie: " Anyone who had a heart'; Get out the brie cheese, your favorite vino and share this cd with that special someone. It is a special cd to have in your colection!

5 out of 5 stars What a voice!.......2002-11-20

I really enjoyed Carol's first CD "With all that I Am" and did not think that this second CD could measure up; however, it does! Her voice is smooth and her songs just make you feel good! I hope that there are more songs to come.

5 out of 5 stars Better than Celine.......2002-09-02

I am not normally a jazz fan, but I think that Carol's voice is so good. I like Celine Dion, but I think I might even like Carol better. I look forward to her next CD.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and soulful.......2002-08-26

I love this CD. Simply put.... Carol is beautiful, and the CD is soulful and entertaining. Great songs. Finally a jazz singer who also writes her own songs giving this CD a very intimate and personal touch!!!

5 out of 5 stars Sweet, sweet lady Jane Duboc.......2003-06-11

Jane Duboc has one of the most extraordinarily sweet voices in Brazilian contemporary music, and this album, 'Sweet Lady Jane', is a precious example of a born singer who has learned her art to perfection. Her interpretation of international classics as the title song, "Sweet Lady Jane", and "Por Causa de Você" will surely catch your attention and your heart as well. Buy it now and prepare yourself, since you will probably want to buy everything she has ever done before...

5 out of 5 stars Romantic and beautiful.......2003-04-07

This is an exquisite collection of varied material by the great Brazilian vocalist Jane Duboc, produced by the inimitable genius Ivan Lins and arranged and conducted by Rob Mounsey. It features songs by Jobim, Lins, Edu Lobo, and others; An exquisite reading of the classic "It Might as Well be Spring"; and a breathtaking version of Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic". Indispensable and unutterably lovely.

Album Description

Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri the home of such great jazz legends as Charlie Parker and Count Basie, Carol Duboc could not help but be influenced. A singer/ songwriter / producer and arranger with many gold and platinum CDs to her credit, Carol has combined the soul of r&b with the complex harmonies and freedom that come with jazz. This CD entitled, "With All That I Am", came from a concept Carol had to approach r&b as a jazz singer. Both the writing and the performances are improvisational. Most of the vocals on this CD were sung live with her trio and the great string and horn arrangements give this CD a rich exciting sound. There are also guest performances by artists Hubert Laws, Gerald Albright, and Wayne Johnson, among others. Many of the songs were actually written while improvising. Carol calls it "Urban Jazz". Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars What a Voice!.......2001-11-10

I can only echo what the other reviwers have said about Carol Duboc. I caught her at a show quite by accident and was blown away by the sultry sexiness of her personna, not to mention her voice. It is captivating in an indescribable way.

What makes this CD fresh is the fact that all of these songs are Carol's compositions. While it is wonderful to hear old standards sung by a variety of artists, Carol breaks the mold by giving us a whole CD of her own works. And not only can she sing, she can write a tune. You have the distinct impression that each song was written from a very personal perspective, which is why the songs come across as so honest and real.

For me, the title track was very meaningful, as was "Second Nature". (Having gone through a relationship such as the one described, I can vouch for the feelings espressed.) "My Inspiration" is another song that meant alot to me, as those of us who have been looking for inspiration can attest to.

That is just a sampling of her work. But you will be captivated by her voice. It is better than Krall's and far better than Monet's. Check her out!

5 out of 5 stars The Sexiest CD.......2001-10-23

This is the sexiest CD I have ever heard. With all due respect to Diana Krall, Carol Duboc has a new brand of soulful jazz that is original and unique and takes it all to another level. I saw Carol perform live when I was in Los Angeles on business last year, and loved her then. Fortunately, I got on her mailing list and heard of her new release. I have played it over and over since I bought it through smoothjazz.com., and I am glad to see that you can now buy it through Amazon.com. She is sexy, the CD is sexy, and I am a fan for life.

5 out of 5 stars "Beautiful CD".......2001-10-10

This CD is beautiful, original and entertaining. It really sets a romantic mood and keeps it to the end of the CD. The kind of mood that goes with candle light, wine, and a sensitive, sophisticated partner. I love the song "The Promise". It is my favorite on the CD and is now one of my favorite songs ever. I also like "Get Around". Carol Duboc does not sound like any one else. She has the kind of unique voice that you recognize right away no matter what she is singing. I am so glad she came along, and I look forward to her next release.

5 out of 5 stars A Must.......2001-07-25

I was listening to smoothjazz.com, radio station on the internet the other day and I heard a song that caught my ear. You know how that goes. So, I did some investigating and found out it was a new artist name Carol Duboc, on Gold Note Records, singing that song "Second Nature" which caught my ear. By then I had to have the CD, and what a treat. This girl, is what smooth jazz is.........

5 out of 5 stars With All That I Am.......2001-07-23

This CD is so refreshing. Carol Duboc's voice is sexy and soothing. I love the jazzy soulful feel of the music and the live instruments. The whole CD is entertaining because the songs are wonderful and no two songs sound alike. My favorite songs are "My Inspiration", "2nd Nature" and "With All That I Am". Carol Duboc is such a great writer, it is nice to hear a whole CD of songs written by the artist. It makes the listening experience much more intimate. I can't wait to see her in concert. Being a fan of Hubert Laws and Gerald Albright, it was great to hear them add their special performances to this already fabulous CD. I highly recommend this CD to jazz lovers as well as people who like sophisticated R&B music... LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

5 out of 5 stars I Got To Hear These Tunes Live, at Spaghettini, Seal Beach.......2005-05-08

Wow!!! and then some. Carol and her group were simply fabulous.
I highly recommend this CD to anyone who likes jazz and other contemporary music forms, including R&B, etc. I had the distinguished pleasure of acting as Carol's drink chaperone last evening (5/6/05) at The Spaghettini. My table was literally right next to the stage entrance from the aisle. Carol is a charming person and a first-rate performer. She sings with a trained ear, and has great voice control which includes an even resonance. This one is not to be missed.

5 out of 5 stars Think Norah Jones, but even better........2005-04-12

This soulful, jazzy album is quite a listen. A great vocalist composer, and arranger, Duboc can make a remake sound completely new (listen to track 7, Duboc's version of Sting's "Every Breath You Take"). I heard her sing live, and she sounds just as good in person as she does on her CD. Track 5, "Drowning," is also beautiful. Buy her other two CDs as well; Duboc is not one of those artists whose songs all sound the same. She can do a bit of Latin, R&B and smooth jazz all in one CD.
