First track start cute and lively vocal with rhythmical brush work and scat accompanied with unison of guitar. It leads you Pizzarelli world which seems to knock down you. On the other hand, his subtle vocal in slow numbers like "The Shadow of Your Smile" and "Say It" certainly catch your heart. This new album following his former one "Bossa Nova" features Piizzarelli's vocal and it selects standard numbers of Broadway musical "The First Hint Of Autumn" is gentle ballad performed by solo guitar. You will be fascinated with his voice. |

Amos lee/ amos lee Amos Lee(vo,g), Lee Alexander & Jaron Olevsky(b), James Gadson & Fred Berman(ds), Lary Gold(cel). Devin Greenwood(Hb3), H.S. Alexandra Leem(vio) 2004.7 U.S.A This is Amos Lees's debut album produced by Lee Alexander who is a bassist of Norah Jones. Briefly speaking it is male version album of Norah Jones. The tone of his voice is in high range and not wild. He seems to be a healing singer. Amos Lee made music performance while teaching English after graduating University. He decided to devote his life to music performance because he realized that it was impossible to be engaged in two jobs through meeting many musicians. He is a singer-songwriter and he wrote all songs. Mainly acoustic sound is used and you may have the impression that only Amos's guitar and vocal make this album but bass, drums , piano, Hammond B3, cello, viola, mandolin join it. Norah also makes performance as vocalist and pianist. It is common that the singer-songwriters have strong motivation and write the lyrics based on their own experience, but he writes the lyrics based on movie and books. |

Hardship through their poor life usually created impressive lyrics. Once they attain fame , people are not impressed by same lyrics created through the rich life. Amos Lee had been listened to various genre of music and many kinds of music essence compose his outstanding music sense. He joins tour of great musicians of same label like Norah Jones, B.B.King, and Bob Dylan . It means Amos must be a potential musician. The word "Male acoustic singer-song writer" reminds me of "Cat Stevens" "Dan Fogelberg" "James Taylor" "JD Souther" " Niel Young" . Whose name do you have in your mind? Last week I dropped in Hi-Fi Do Nipponbashi shop and Jim Croce voice from the large speaker caught me. The volume was so large that I was fascinated with his vocal for a while. |
