Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0755971001128 Format: DualDisc Label: Midder Music Manufacturer: Midder Music MPN: 8 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Midder Music Release Date: February 12, 2008 Studio: Midder Music Editorial Review: Album Description: "After Nancy's death in 1995, many radio DJ's across the country kept her music alive by playing cuts from her CD's. But one DJ, Jonathan Schwartz, had access to a special private collection of unreleased recordings that Nancy had given him copies as gifts. Over the years, Jonathan would regularly play these recordings, and every time he did, we would get calls asking; 'Which CD is that on? How do I get a copy of the that song?'. Of course, there weren't on any CD, so we had a lot of frustrated fans on our hands. Several years ago, we set out to rectify that problem by putting together this compilation. Because these songs were recorded in many disparate venues, most with just a live piano, on all different kinds of equipment of varying quality, live in concert, live on the radio, and in small studios in Atlantic City and New York, the challenge was to get them to play evenly so they could be listened to on one CD without losing the dynamic range that was the trademark of Nancy's live performances. We have tried, in every case, to leave the songs as they were originally sung, so with the exception of raising and lowering volumes and a few small nips and tucks, all these performances are untouched. The result is intimate, natural look at these songs just as Nancy sang them. No frills, no tricks, just Nancy." - David Friedman Average Rating:
 Rating: - Amazing! A must have!This is an amazing CD! No one can interpret a song like Nancy La Mott! She sings these songs with such heart and soul. Other singers are great like Nancy (Streisand etc) but Nancy has the depth that other greats don't always achieve. She lives on through her incredible voice! Rating:  - What a TreatA genuinely good selection of songs that Nancy La Mott could perform so well. Whenever I listen to a Nancy La Mott CD, it's difficult if not impossible not to think about her early death from cancer and to grieve over what might have been. I'm glad somebody found these pieces; they fit well with her other CDs. Rating: - AmazingNancy LaMott was a gift - taken away too soon. This is a wonderful album. If you haven't heard her, give it a try. She is amazing. Rating: - nancy lamottthe album is excellent.It is a compendium of her work from various sources at various times from1988-1994 and is an excellent album.Highly recommended, especially for her fans. Music is heavily oriented toward jazz, cabaret, pop and broadway tunes. Rating: - A Great CDI was afraid that a CD that came out so many years after her death, would sound like left-over cuts that weren't good enough to be included in one of her albums. Not the case here! These are all terrific singles and they all sound like top-notch recordings. I remember hearing her sing most of them on Jonathan Schwartz's radio show. I was amazed at the time and I am still amazed by the beauty and honesty of her voice. A real find for her fans. MW |
