Matt's Mood: Matt Bianco's New Album Featuring Basia

I love Basia! She has an incredible voice and obviously has a jazz background. Her music is so much more sophisticated than the bland pop that you often hear on the radio. I bought every Basia album from 1990 to 1995 and then she just disappeared. I was very excited earlier this year when I heard that Matt Bianco, the band of which Basia used to be a member, had released a new album featuring her on every song! I immediately went online and tried to find the cd. I finally found it via amazon.com imports and anxiously awaited the cd's arrival. This cd is incredible! It surpassed all of my expectations. I had expected that Basia's voice would have dimished in the 10 years since her last album, Basia on Broadway. She sounded better than ever! Matt Bianco is made up of monster musicians, all well versed in jazz. There are fantastic saxophone solos, especially on Ronnie's Samba, featuring the late baritone saxophonist, Ronnie Ross.
