This record is the finest tribute, all in lace, that a jazz singer can pay. Everything has freedom, refinement, and a groove served by a rare art of respiration. It gives Natale breathing that can't be described, except to say that her voice lies between jazz and pop. Poetry, tenderness, and extreme femininity every title in the repertoire becomes a new work here, and they take the listener to the heavens and a perfectly elaborated freshness. These are hymns to life and softness. Patrick FREMEAUX
