Product Description
Album Description
2011 album from the Jazz vocalist. Few young vocalists have entered the Jazz scene in this new century with the kind of acclaim received by the supremely talented Sophie Milman. Still in her 20s, she has now delivered her fourth album and first masterpiece, In The Moonlight. Produced by Grammy-winner Matt Pierson (Jane Monheit, Michael Franks, Joshua Redman, Kirk Whalum), this warm, witty, and altogether wonderful collection marks the first time Sophie has recorded in New York with an all-star supporting cast of Jazz veterans and hot new stars, performing gorgeous arrangements for strings and larger ensembles. With a rich, sensuous voice that puts a thoroughly modern spin on the legacy of immortals like June Christy and Carmen MacRae, Sophie Milman makes her mark not just as a singer of songs, but as a complete musician whose taste and sophistication set her alongside today's very greatest singers.

A Nice, Pleasant Album, but . . .,
By Upright Grand Master J (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In The Moonlight (Audio CD)
Sophie Milman's 2011 album, 'In the Moonlight' was recorderd in New York, and resulted in a very pleasant record, in both sound and execution. Unfortunately it was also a very safe effort, covering a nice selection of lessor played standards, and the song 'So Sorry' by Leslie Feist. Ms. Milman's three previous albums were recorded in Toronto, and especially on the 2009 album, 'Take Love Easy', feels so much more passionate, and alive. The song selection included far riskier choices, interesting arrangements and performances; offering far greater reward for the listener.Sophie Milman has an incredible voice and talant that shines when she steps outside the typical jazz lounge singer box, so this is a disappointing effort when compared to the afore mentioned, and 'Make Someone Happy'(2007), or even her first album from 2004. If you already have her previous disks, this one makes for a nice dinner companion, if not, start at the beginning.

Good, not great.,

This review is from: In The Moonlight (Audio CD)
After listening several times to this album, I figured it out. Just remove two or three of the slower tracks, and you have a pretty good album. Sophie's vocal skills are still very strong, but the selections here don't make for a great listen through. I respect her choice to have a go at Duke Ellington here, but the overall program ends up dragging. If I could just edit this one down to ten or eleven tracks, I would have given a score of five stars...after all, I'm still a fan!

I love this cd - soft jazz at its best. And she is Canadian. What is there not to like?
