An upbeat, crisp, jazz-pop sound is what emanates from this CD the minute you put it on. Soon after that you get Basia’s smooth, light but powerful (three octave range) voice cutting in to float across the melodies like a pleasant breeze happening along to refresh your senses. Basia is a Polish singer, songwriter and producer and this 1989 album of hers is a wonderful set of upbeat, Latin-flavored jazz tunes with great harmony and gliding bossa-nova type rhythms that leave you energized and delighted. Even though her sound is primarily categorized as jazz, this album had a pop Top 30 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Cruising for Bruising, which shows her crossover appeal into pop music. I confess that along with Ordinary People it’s my favorite track on the CD.Sunday, March 22, 2009
