CD Reviews

Return to Cole
Carlos de Figueiredo Forbes | 11/13/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Steve Ross is a good saloon singer. He is not a Bobby Short, nor a Hugh Shannon, but pleasant enough to listen to or to be seen at a show.



Alan Jay Lerner, however, is not for him. Following Feinstein's mania of dramatizing every song, Steve was untouched by Lerner's irony and wit, opting for a rather gothic approach to compositions that did not transplant well to that environment. A very drab recording !



With friendship, I wish that Steve will go back to Cole and to the thirties, digging deep into the many treasures still undiscovered (Bea Feitler's unsurpassed book on Cole being an excellent treasury map)and presenting them with the same bravura and melodic richness that we grew accustomed to by his previous issues !
