Milman, Sophie - Take love easy

Produziert hat -Take Love Easy- kein geringerer als Steven MacKinnon (Molly Johnson, Marc Jordan, Natalie Cole), zu hören sind neben dem strahlenden Stern Sophie Milman: Wessell Anderson (Wynton Marsalis, Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra), Guido Basso, P.J. Perry, Michael Kaeshammer und Robi Botos. Je älter Sophie Milman wird, desto abgeklärter erscheint sie, lotet ohne jede Scham ihre musikalische Grenzen neu aus. Auf -Take Love Easy- interpretiert Milman mit der ihr angeschlossenen All-Star Band Klassiker von Duke Ellington und Cole Porter über Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell bis hin zu Paul Simon. Die nordamerikanische Presse urteilt darüber:

Globe and Mail : …Take Love Easy, her third album, delivers the goods instantly. The very first thing we hear is her voice, dark and lustrous, over a walking bass line as she gently but decisively swings -Beautiful Love-, and it's clear that this is no pop jazz confection. Between her honeyed tone and relaxed, back-of-the-pocket phrasing, Milman sings with a maturity beyond her years… Die New York Times urteilt: She could remake a T-Pain come-on into a Carmen McRae entreaty. The opener, -Beautiful Love- combines a crisply swinging tempo with a sultry minor key, -Where Do You Start?- closes things on a subtly dramatic note. ... But Ms. Milman's core philosophy might best be summed up by the Joni Mitchell tune she covers here: -Be Cool-.
