Alice Babs - What A Joy

Review by Repromeda

Alice Babs' album "What A Joy" is a delightful collection of songs that showcase her incredible vocal range and versatility. The album features a mix of jazz, pop, and traditional Swedish folk tunes, all of which are performed with passion and precision.

Babs' voice is a thing of beauty, soaring effortlessly through the melodies and bringing a sense of joy to each and every track. Her rendition of the classic jazz standard "Take the A Train" is particularly impressive, with her scatting skills on full display.

The album also features some wonderful collaborations, including a duet with the legendary Duke Ellington on "I'm Beginning to See the Light." Babs and Ellington's voices blend together perfectly, creating a truly magical moment.
