Play 90 second soundbite of 'Darn That Dream' @ 'CD quality'
Night brings swing back home with romantic and emotional songs from across the decades - smooch and smoulder to her vibrant yet dusky tones and let Sally Night carry you off into the moonlight with her maturely rounded vocalisation and stylised delivery. 'Phases Of Love' is proper, straight-arrow, classy jazz al la Billie Holiday and/or Ella Fitzgerald. Night doesn't get drawn into new territories here - she takes classic songs and re-vamps them in her own, beautifully proportioned and sophisticated way. You won't get bored with drawn out jazzy solo outpourings with Sally Night - this lady's here to give you the jazz trip of a lifetime, the peachiest of trips, a seductive and rewarding outing of fourteen tracks of stunningly mature, breathtakingly empathetic vocal work-outs.
Although Sally Night keeps it all very real here, she takes the songs to new highs with her unusual, somewhat unmistakeable vocal intonation and her slick delivery. Yes, like all good jazz singers Night has a style and sound all of her own; Night's way is polished, woody and, at times, sensual. Night seems to be on a bit of a jazz mission with 'Phases Of Love' - to show that old standards can still be revisited and given new energy and new sexiness - 'Phases Of Love' travels through the ups and downs of relationships and emotions as it musically harps back to times of eloquent conversation, elegant attire and chaperoned romance.
'Phases Of Love' by Sally Night is a cool, romantic work - easy on the ear, sweet musical romance for any generation, any time and any place. 'Phases Of Love' is pure class, serious mood music and a pretty powerful aural aphrodisiac - tasty, very very tasty!!
