简介:  Danish singer Caecilie Norby's first recording to be released in the United States is quite a mixed bag. At times,Norby comes across as Nancy Wilson,going over the top in places and not showing much subtlety;on Irving Berlin's classic "Suppertime,"she does not seem to know what she is singing about,sounding quite upbeat about a lynching. Some other selections are pop-ish but there are places where Norby shows potential as a jazz singer. She is assisted by a strong cast of Americans and Scandinavians (including pianists Dave Kikoski and Joey Calderazzo,keyboardist Lars Jansson,drummerTerri Lyne Carrington,trumpeter Randy Brecker,and,on "Spinning Wheel,"tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker),but Caecilie Norby's more significant work probably lies in the future.
