Rain Sometimes+1 ReviewI've known of Pinky Winters' existence for years, always mentioned in hushed whispers as a woman who should be a jazz legend, but has been hindered by her lack of recordings. Since her new record has been released, I have read rave reviews from average Joe vocalist fans to Rex Reed in the NY Observor.
The reviews are correct.
Ms. Winters has a burnished, knowing, conversational voice that will appeal to anyone who loves singers - the piano-only accompaniment by the great Richard Rodney Bennett (with Bob Maize's bass added on four numbers) pushes her singing into the forefront, where it holds one's attention for the entire 45 minutes. Her June Christy-like choice of songs - mixing well-rendered classics and undeserved obscurities - adds all the more to the quality of this CD.
Don't be worried by the fact that this is a small, independent release. If quality was judged by the label its on - and looking at the most recent major-label releases, this would be laughable - "Rain Sometimes" should be on Verve or Blue Note. The sound quality is terrific, recorded in the hallowed studios of the former Radio Recorders in Hollywood. Don't hesitate - purchase this CD.Rain Sometimes+1 OverviewPinky Winters is a jazz singer who, with only the assistance of a piano and bass, can rivet you and raise the hairs on your arm with all the force of the Basie band. Winters recorded one album in the 1950s, another in the 1960s, then married and retired from the jazz circuit. Today copies of both those highly regarded out-of-print LP's command many hundreds of dollars apiece on the record collectors' market. Since the 1960s, Winters has surfaced in the recording studio only three times. But each appearance has proved worth the wait. In 1985, Winters cut "Let's Be Buddies (Jacqueline Records)" in 1994, "This Happy Madness (Verve)," and 2001 saw the release of "As Long as There's Music" (Koch Jazz), a collaboration with Lou Levy and the Netherlands Metropole Jazz Orchestra. For many years now, the esteemed British pianist-connect hall-film soundtrack composer, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, has wanted to record with Winters. For her, the feeling has been mutual. Now, that long-awaited encounter has finally taken place with "Rain Sometimes."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
