CD Reviews

Stellar
E. C Goodstein | Northern CA United States | 06/30/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The album that captures Kilgore with her Portland trio. And one of her very best, which is definitely saying something. This album has somewhat more contemporary

jazz backing (esp. harmonies) than her work with 'neo-trads' like Hal Smith or John Sheridan, or even somewhat similar Keith Ingram albums on Jump. But no less

compelling-- very fine playing, & her voice in top form I think. If you like bright voiced jazz vocals akin to Maxine Sullivan, or say would like to hear a more jazz Doris Day, check this out!"
Great Moments Indeed

"Rebecca Kilgore is one of the best jazz singers to emerge in the last ten years, and has quietly created a catalogue of great albums. "Moments Like This" is another one to add to her impressive list, and may be the best yet! This time, she records with her "regular" trio from Portland, Oregon and demonstrates just how a singer can be bluesy and sentimental at the same time, and swing to boot, abetted by superb, complex but never overbearing, accompaniment. Her lovely warm voice recalls Peggy Lee, the jazz side of Doris Day, and occasionally Blossom Dearie and Susannah McCorkle, but is unquestionably individual. She breathes new life into chestnuts like "Dream" and "This Can't be Love," as well as finding "newer"obscure gems, including "Summer Song" by Dave Brubeck, & Herb Ellis's, "I Told You I Love Ya." If you like jazz and "classic pop" vocals, you will love this album."
Portland's Secret Is No More

"Rebecca Kilgore, perhaps the best-kept secret in current female jazz singing, records on this CD with Randy Porter, Neil Masson and Scott Steed, the musicians who regularly accompany her in Portland, Oregon. The 16-tune result will remind you at times of Chris Connor, Anita O'Day, June Christy or perhaps even Peggy Lee -- and then you'll realize it is none of them. It's Rebecca Kilgore, a solid performer in her own right, presenting both familiar and not-so-familiar songs you won't forget. Becky has had some hits on the Arbors label, but this hometown recording is as good or better. Thanks, Portland, for sharing your secret."
