HIGH SOCIETY PRESENTS

SHANGHAI JAZZ CD

Now let's go back to Shanghai's golden age and relive?.......Another good compilation from "HIGH SOCIETY" series , this is a jazzy release with re-invented classic Chinese oldies. Timeless songs heard many many times but still as good....Like many of the HIGH SOCIETY series releases...this cd is not cheap...but well, like the Chinese says...a penny more for better quality , or " yi fen qian yi fen huo"...

This comes with nicely package box and booklet, and also most importantly a good sound and a group of talented musicians...

SHANGHAI DIVAS

HIGH SOCIETY PRESENTS

Great compilation of Chinese oldies/popular songs re-sung by various female singers with different styles...a more jazzy, chill out feel....the songs are restructured and the focus is more on the female vocals .....

Many Chinese oldies/songs have be sung, and re-sing , restructured many times for so many years...but some versions really "cannot make it".......Vocals and lyrics, I think plays very very important role in bringing out the "flavour" and the "life" to the songs...and of course, instrumentations and structure of the songs as well. A jazzy, chill out effort this time...and a pretty decent one. Pardon my ignorance but i don't really know who the singers are in this album...but it is a great way to listen to these classy songs, especially on a HDCD.

LISA ONO

BEST OF 1997-2001 CD COMPILATION 2008

Well, to stay on this reviewing album thing, i promised him (the guy who put up these reviews) that i would review a variety of different music, including jazz etc etc................And he has been threatening persuading me to review some jazz and other music for some of his site visitors........well, so that i wouldn't be taken off this page..... juz joking on the "threatening" part....

Here goes....another talented musician that everyone knows...a bossa nova singer/songwriter, she is LISA ONO. She can definitely take the night away with her relaxing, jazzy,chill out music. Also, she has performed with other famous musician like Antonio Carlos Jobim, and also got awards for her album in Japan.
The songs are evergreen and timeless. This cd is a great companion for chilling out with your loved ones and friends. Also grab the other compilation album if you do not already own her previous releases.....

A fine addition to your collection, whether you are a bossa nova or jazz fans..

SARAH MCLACHLAN

CLOSER BEST OF 2 CD ALBUM 2008

Very good compilation album from this popular singer. Classy and evergreen tracks like "good enough, hold on, ben's song, possession, fumbling towards ecstasy, sweet surrender, adia etc etc.."

There are many female vocalists who has followed her style of singing after her album releases, but i think nothing beats the original. A good compilation if you do not have her previous releases.

An amazing classy singer at the top of her game.

RAY CHARLES

GENIUS LOVES COMPANY CD ALBUM 2004

This is the last album from this great R&B/soul/blues musician before his passing. Very cool album with duets from other great musicians: Diana Krall,Elton John, Norah Jones, BB King, Willie Nelson James Taylor, Natalie Cole etc etc..
Well, nothing short of amazing, this relaxing chill out album plays out your familiar tunes with great production and soul. Intimate, soulful, sincere...Just dim the lights and bring out your wine, enjoy it in the night with your loved ones...and you might want to have a dance or two....Chill...
