Van Basten II Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 By the way, she's a hell of a singer, especially in a world of cocktail waitresses kind of a singers. Some of her albums tends to be on the overproduced side, but if you see her live , check her out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Tribute to what? The way the graphics are done does not remind you of a certain brand of a jazz label ? Looks familiar. Example? maybe freddie roach's brown sugar but i would say the parallels are rather superficial... somehow it reminds me most strongly of the recent blue note compilations (blue note round trip... and what's different with classic blue note is that the woman is never the artist himself... and i can't really recall a similar classic blue note cover with a male face... maybe something by stamnley turrentine) edit to add: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainwrong Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Pays Tribute? Check. Overly Imitative? Check. And because of that, I've lost track of the number of times I've seen this album filed in the jazz section, especially at Half Price Books.

Big Beat Steve Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Tribute to what? ... The way the graphics are done does not remind you of a certain brand of a jazz label ? Pretty lame to invoke BN whenever an album cover reminds you of "something" you've seen before. A case could be made for a LOT of other early 60s labels that used EXACTLY the same basic layout, typography, split between text and image section, etc. I could think of several right now that I have in my collection, including WB (Warner Brothers) IIRC, and I would NOT say they all let themselves be inspired by BN. It's more the era, not the label. That Joe Jackson copycat thing is a totally different (and obvious) case, of course, but that singer's cover artwork in the opening topic just has a certain "RETRO" feel about it but that's really all there's to it IMHO. And RETRO artwork really isn't bad as long as you steer clear of bringing back those ghastly, shoddy, garish, pseudo-psychedelic 70s covers!
