Dis My GIRL!!! May 21, 2009

I love Basia and this is a great first recording to get if you've never heard of her! Extremely talented woman.
A Jazz-Pop gem indeed. August 7, 2008

By the time this album was released, Basia's talent and creativity were already indisputable on the jazz-pop scene, given the success and the impact of her previous three solo records, post Matt Bianco. And, just in case there was still any doubt, this live album makes it quite clear why when it comes to the best female singers, Basia's name is always on the top of the list.
The backing vocals, the band, Basia's performance, the entire setup, everything is so perfectly produced and mastered that it made this one of the best cristal-clear live albums ever recorded, and with regards to the music selection itself, is simply amazing.
Not only quite good because of the sound quality, but also because of the beauty of the songs. A relaxing symphony, both groovy and hypnotic at the same time, which deserves to be heard a few times in order to really find out all the little details and quality glimpses that makes this a standout masterpiece.
A Jazz-Pop gem indeed.

I just bought a copy of this album, the tardiness of which I have no explanation having bought The Sweetest Illusion when it was first released. I concur completely with the comments preceeding mine, but I would like to add some observations regarding the live performances of these tunes. For those who may not know, for studio albums Basia has traditionally sang and layered all of her own harmony vocals. From a production standpoint, this method has several advantages, one of which the timbres and vibratos all match up. What impresses me so much on the live album is how the vocal ensemble members totally nail not just the parts from the studio versions, but all of the nuances in the phrasing as well. Heaven only knows how much work and rehearsal went into the achieving this.
I would also like to mention the overall audio quality of the CD. It seems that the acoustics in the Neil Simon Theater must be superb, because the recorded live sound of the band is wonderfully "present" and sparkling. Production done this well makes having a great sound system worth the money.
I realize that this is 2007, and the album was recorded in 1994. Who cares. If you don't have it, get it!
Excelent !! November 6, 2006

This has a lower price, but even for $20 it would still be worth it. This is kind of Best of Basia, but you receive a freshly recorded version of the hits in live environmnet with real instruments and the 80 song sound even better as on her records, where there is also a lot of keyboards instead. Her voice is amazing, so are the backup singers, that sing well also the parts in polish. Overall, one of the best live albums for this kind of music.

There are few words to describe Basia in my opinion. One of the words is spectacular. Her vocals, personality and music content is just great. She is the only artist I have ever seen who actually takes requests from her audience. I was actually at one of the shows on Broadway where this CD was recorded, and wish I could see her again, right now!
I am in love with Basia forever....
