Listener Reviews & Comments
Yes,musicians are great,repertoire is great BUT I just can't warm up to Helen Humes voice.She reminds me too much of the young,Chick Webb - era Ella Fitzgerald,all girly,squeeky clean and "lovable".That particular type of voice,with its "freshness and cleanniness" is simply unlistenable to me,it says volumes about possesor of the voice AND always frozen smile on the face.Listening good reviews I bought not one but two Helen humes albums and still after several months I cannot find any special magic about her,except the fact that I find her "cuteness" very annoying.Some people find her good,but I need a character behind the voice and this woman sounds too much like young Ella (whom I never liked in the first place,lack of personality being the reason).Perhaps this similarity was the reason why Humes never broke really big and never had status of other great jazz legends.The only exception on the album would be "Bill" from "Showboat" which unexpectedly,Humes sing with some emotions,everything else sound forced to me.
