Only 22, she sounds like she's been singing for many years beyond her age. This 2-Fer package collects Nancy Wilson's first two albums, recorded in 1959 and 1960. Her voice is earthy and instantly captivating, and on slow numbers in particular she demonstrates tremendous control: she can do almost anything with her voice.
Although she can sing anything handed her, she is best on ballads that are at least somewhat blues inflected: her ability to get inside songs like PASSION FLOWER, NIGHT MIST, and GUESS WHO I SAW TODAY is incredible. The arranging by Billy May is very supportive of her stylings. This is an excellent CD, and illustrates why jazz musicians such as Cannonball Adderley were so crazy about her. Definitely worth checking out.
A Young Singer On Her Way To Stardom
She was only 22 when "Like In Love" was made and a mere 23 years-old for the "Something Wonderful" sessions, but she was already an old pro. Don't let Nancy Wilson's young age fool you at the time she recorded these excellent songs. "Something Wonderful" can also be used to describe this great 2-fer (2 albums on one CD) EMI Import from Europe. The sound remastering is superb. You can hear every nuance of Nancy's voice and each instrument in Billy May's great orchestra comes thru loud and clear. I hate to say it, but these European and Japanese Import CD's of jazz artists really put the American CD versions to shame. For some reason, the Import CD's just sound so much better.
Back to Nancy Wilson. . . . . . again, don't let her age fool you. She may have been young, but her voice carries a world of experience, sounding like someone who's been thru decades of joy and heartaches in the game of love. She gives some words just enough "bite" to add emphasis to a phrase or syllable. Ms. Wilson's phrasing has always been impeccable, it's just unconceivable how someone so young could pull this off. Every song here is well chosen and demonstrates Nancy's remarkable artistry. Not too long after these recordings were released to the public, Nancy Wilson became the best-selling artist at Capitol Records, and it's easy to see why. A "Must Have" for any Nancy Wilson fan ! You won't regret it. The sound quality alone is worth it.
Tart, swinging, and sexy
Her sources (Dinah Washington, Jimmie Scott) are clear, but
it's already pure Nancy. It's amazing still to hear such musicality and personal style in a singer so young at the time of these recordings.
Buy this.
