Album Description

The album opens with a hard-swinging rendition of the rarely performed Be A Sweet Pumpkin. The other selections from the Great American Songbook all provide opportunities for the musicians working with Janine to shine. Antonio and Isaac have great solos on That Old Black Magic. Janine takes you through some changes on You’ve Changed with some great interaction with Sais on flute. On Good Morning Heartache and Janine’s Blues Sais takes out his harmonica and, oh, does Janine get down on her blues! DeAndre gets in some swinging solos throughout the album, as do William, Wes and Manny, as this is a jazz recording with all that term implies: tight arrangements, masterful solos and the incredible range of the vocalist in interpreting the songs. Over a decade ago before she passed Ronnie Wells got to see how well her protégé Janine Gilbert-Carter had developed into a true jazz vocalist by making the songs she grew up with by Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan into her own. Ronnie would have been proud of what Janine has done with My Foolish Heart. It is Janine Gilbert-Carter at her best. Rusty Hassan Rusty Hassan hosts Thursday Late Night Jazz on WPFW-FM.
