Laura Fygi - Live at Ronnie Scotts (@320)



This is the second live album of Laura since her first one 'Live' at Carre Theatre in Amsterdam back in 1998. This album of her concert at Ronnie Scott's recorded in March last year is the definitive "live" recording of this remarkable Godness in Jazz. It was recorded on the last night of the concert and it captured Laura at her best in live performance without any of the flaws.

Widely regarded as the world's finest Jazz vocalist today, Laura appeared in this recording in which she perfectly makes for excellent listening. It goes without saying the highly standard sound quality, all the new interpretations make this truly inspirational performance very attractive. Easily the most impressive tracks on here are 'That old feeling', 'All of me', 'Don't it make my brown eyes blue', 'I'll wait for you', 'Just of those things' and some previously unreleased tracks like 'Orange coloured sky', 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend' and 'The nearness of you'. No matter what Laura sings be it Portuguese in 'Corcovado', French in 'For me, formidable' and 'Les Feuilles Mortes' or Spanish in 'La mentira' (bonus track in Asian edition and SACD), Laura's sultry voice will definitely makes you stand still and listen. The power, passion and clarity she has is such a rarity and uniqueness that it makes your very soul sing along. There isn't one track on here that is weaker than the next, and the incredible thing is the variation of the songs that Laura glides seamlessly from flawless English to French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Thoughtful interepretations of the American song book has lost absolutely none of its style or genre and Laura reworks some of her most famous tracks in a new slant to provide an utterly brilliant new fantastic jazzy interpretation and weaves tightly with the spiritually of the standards to give those masterpieces a whole new spin.
