More than just reminds me of Ella Fitzgerald recordings of the 1940s and 1950s, it's spooky similar. That's a good thing and this is a great album. Vilray wrote the songs but you could swear they are Cole Porter songs you never heard before. Yet the album's audio engineering also resembles those recordings: recorded in mono, limited midrange-only frequency response, distortion in crescendos. Obviously, they did this for artistic effect and it's well done, for what it is. Yet I find it disappointing. With such great music, so well played, I want to hear what it really sounds like.
I'm curious what other jazz fans out there think about these albums.
