CD Reviews

Damn .. near crashed my truck..

D. Pittsford | seattle, wa United States | 02/07/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Stunning. Simply stunning. NPR ran the last track (11),late one nite. I was on the way home from a long business trip.. the tune was so captivating.. I had to pull over to the side of the road to finish and catch the title. Took 2 weeks of frantic searching on the NET to find the disk and get it in my hand. Highly Treasured disk. SAD news, In coorespondance with the producer, All of her earlier master recordings were destroyed in a fire at the studio in Singapore. Get it while you can."

Remarkably sensual vocalization

Leslie Ty Chen | Donvale, Victoria Australia | 07/19/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Inver knew Jacintha was Singapore born and raised. It is unusaly for an oriental singer to attempt jazz cocals and do it so well. Her voice is subtle and sensual. The backup is a bit weak in this album."

Another (Audiophile) Gem

Kofi Anim-Appiah | Allen, TX United States | 09/10/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"OK so I have a thing for well-recorded, enjoyable female jazz vocal. This recording has both attributes. If you're into Jane Monheit, Kendra Shank, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall, etc. "Autumn Leaves" will not disappoint. This is good jazz singing. Jacintha's voice is not seasoned with age but she's well on her way. This is an analog recording and it's proof positive that there's nothing lacking in analog whatsoever."
