Gotta say the execution of this concept is not working for me at all, mostly because of the vocals--though the arrangements aren't really offering much to write home about either.  Bowie himself famously plugged into jazz at the end of his career with Maria Schneider and Donny McCaslin, and I greatly enjoyed those recordings... but this sounds too much in the neighborhood of Bill Murray's old SNL lounge-singer schtick.  YMMV:

But does the album include a version of the "Star Wars" theme -- like Murray's lounge act?!?

Revisiting this excellent box set that reissues concerts by Ms Fitzgerald over a 30 year span.

Showcases her skills and with great accompanists.

Second Ictus Records cd from an end of the year sale I’m listening to. Much more my style than the other.

How do you find that? I walked out of the Barbican gig of that tour, self-indulgent mood music and I say that as someone that has another Garbarek gig as one of my most memorable ever
