Seal - Standards UHD (2017 - Jazz Funk Soul) [Flac 24-192 LP]



It is always a bit of a trial by fire. This is not an obligatory step but a way to deal with one's colleagues from yesterday and today.

With Standards, his tenth studio album with an eloquent title, Seal climbs the Everest of the great classics of jazz and swing. For thirty years now the Brit hasn't had much to prove in terms of the distinctly soulful tones of his voice.

But this happy parenthesis with a retro flavor allows us to remember how this powerful and sensual organ can tame any repertoire. Mainly recorded in the famous Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat "King" Cole and many others recorded some of their greatest records, Standards has enjoyed the help of musicians who once supported those great voices.

We will therefore find the pianist Randy Waldman (Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka), the bassist Chuck Berghofer (Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles) and the drummer Greg Fields (Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder), all gathered for Seal to give birth to his reinterpretations of Autumn Leaves , I Put A Spell On You, Love For Sale, My Funny Valentine, I've Got You Under My Skin, Smile, I'm Beginning To See The Light or Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow. "It's the album I've always wanted to make," the person concerned emphasizes.

I grew up listening to the music of the Rat Pack era and have always dreamed of recording those timeless songs. Working with the musicians who joined Frank Sinatra and many of my favorite artists, in those same studios where magic was first produced, was a real honor for me.

Those recording days are among the most incredible of my entire career in the studio ».
