Until my next music review in a few days from the date of this post, here are pictures of Natalie Cole in concert in Singapore, 28 February 2014. The setting was unexpected, a semi-open promenade, and an uncovered seating area for three categories of seats. It was unusually breezy in Singapore given the shift in Monsoon winds, but it sure made the evening memorable when Natalie mixed renditions of her father's musical catalogue and her own jazz selections. Her voice had attained a jazzier edge tonight! A story telling quality not heard on the 1991 album that signalled her return to her father's catalogue and the open embrace of jazz. There was something for everyone in this concert whether you call it jazz or not!
First up, Natalie performing the Michael Franks samba-like composition 'Tell me all about it'
And of course, Nat King Cole's musical legacy had to take centrestage with her rendition of 'Unforgettable':
Of course, these pictures are best viewed by playing Natalie Cole's albums in the background :)
