Branching away from standards on her second album Way Down Low, Austin-based jazz vocalist Kat Edmonson also expands her musical worldview, going beyond the sophisticated cabaret of her 2009 debut Take to the Sky and creating a breezy neo-tribute to the swinging '60s. That was the decade that produced Brian Wilson's "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times," one of the few covers on Way Down Low and a sentiment that applies to Edmonson but in a different way. Where the Beach Boy was pining for the days before rock & roll, Edmonson would certainly feel more comfortable in either the '60s or '50s, where bossa nova, swing, and pop mingled happily, as they do here. Certainly, these sounds give Way Down Low a distinctly retro vibe, but Edmonson isn't living in the past, she's pledging allegiance to a tradition, a tradition she finds flexible enough to refashion for modern times. And Kat Edmonson is a modern girl -- after all, she funded the production of Way Down Low via Kickstarter, a move that gave her artistic freedom and professional production, taking full advantage of those two elements. Way Down Low is rich and varied, as are Edmonson's girlish vocals, which never succumb to cloying sweetness or stereotypical scatting. She's nimble and creative within the boundaries of her chosen traditions, which is why Way Down Low feels simultaneously fresh and timeless. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

商品の紹介

ジャズ、ポップ、ボサノヴァ…、2012年ジャンルレスに世界の音楽ファンを魅了したロング・ヒット・アルバム。キャット・エドモンソン『Way Down Low』にボーナス・トラックを加えた、メジャー・デビュー・アルバム!キャット・エドモンソンは、まだ無名でありながら、昨年2012年にリリースした自身2作目のアルバム『Way Down Low』でじわじわと、そして深く世界の女性ヴォーカル・ファンを魅了したUSの可憐なヴォーカリスト。その歌声をニューヨーク・タイムズは「春の花束のようにフレッシュ」と評した。ささやくように繊細でありながら、猫のように自由に漂う歌声は、緻密に作り上げられたシンプルなバックトラックの中で実に深く響き、リスナーは彼女の世界に一気に誘われる。ショートカットのキュートでコケティッシュな容姿そのままに、可憐な世界が広がる。共同プロデューサーにジャズ・ベーシストのダントン・ボラー、エンジニアに大御所アル・シュミットを迎え、またフィル・ラモーン(ビリー・ジョエル、ポール・サイモン)からも助言を受ける、といった豪華な布陣を迎え、レコーディング・スタジオは名門キャピトル・スタジオという妥協のないプロダクションが行われた。が、当時アルバム制作費に事欠いた彼女は、インターネットの個人投資サイト"Kickstarter"で見事制作費を集めたというエピソードも残っている。派手な宣伝は無い中で、NPRを始め彼女を指示するメディアが取り上げ始めると、このアルバムはビルボード・ハートシーカー・チャートで1位となり、更に音楽ファンが一目置くアルバムになっていった。
