Ranee Lee - Whats Going on

2014 twelfth recording for the Justin Time label. Along with several original tunes, the Juno Award winning Jazz vocalist tackles a varied repertoire. As well as paying homage to her Jamaican heritage with a solid rendering of Bob Marley's One Love, the album is also at times moody and reflective, her breathtaking version of Leon Russell's a Song for You features the Birds on a Wire String Quartet which adds a whole new dimension to the song, and there's the Bergman/Mandel classic Where Do You Start, or the title track, Marvin Gaye's stunning What's Going On. But it also swings, check out the self-penned It Will Be What It Will Be and Echoes of the Heart. A truly beautiful recording (and beautifully recorded!)
