Customer Reviews

One of '05's most underrated albums

Matt's Mood is a fantastic amalgam of pop, jazz, swing, Latin, retro, lounge, spy, even chill, thrown into a great spin. You can hear influences from Brazil '66 to Manhattan Transfer to soundtracks from swinging movies like Pink Panther, Mission Impossible or the James Bond series-- all done with love, not with cheap irony. These three tried this twenty years ago on the Whose Side Are You On album but Matt's Mood truly brings the sound into its own. Danny White not only does delivers gorgeous straight piano work, he also handles the more electric-sounding keyboards and organs with finesse. The arrangements are complex without being overdone, and everything sounds organic even if it comes from electronic equipment. Basia sounds as if eleven years had never passed, and these songs are among her best vocal work. She seems to be having a great deal of fun too, particularly on the energetic samba La Luna, while the pensive Say The Words is beautifully emotive. Her lyrics, while not as confessional as on her solo work, have enough intrigue to add another dimension to her vocals. Her voice fits right into the retro feel of songs like Kaleidoscope and Slip and Sliding. Hardly the least, Mark Reilly provides the swagger and the 'tude of the group. Kaleidoscope, in his hands, is a swinging bachelor pad anthem, and I Never Meant To is swoonworthy. It's not too often that someone can both compliment and contrast with another voice, but Mark does both, and it really makes the album work. His brand of cool is a necessary part of the group's chemistry. And if all that weren't enough, the musicians are top shelf throughout. Most have worked with MB or Basia over the years, and on this album it sounds like a gathering of friends. Especially great is the incorporation of recently unearthed baritone sax solos by the late Ronnie Ross-- absolutely ace playing. At the same time charmingly retro and freshly current, both emotive and just plain fun to listen to, Matt's Mood is more than just the return of Basia-- it's a stunning album with a solid sound.

How Incredible !!!

Wow, How Incredible !!! This is my Favorite album EVER !! My Favorites are LA LUNA, ORDINARY DAY , AND RONNIE'S SAMBA . All these songs really sink deep if you listen to them a lot.

Basia is still the bomb!

This is a great addition to anyone who, like me, is a big Basia fan. I've looked for something new from her for years and this, while not a "solo", does satisfy. My Favorite tracks are Ordinary Day and La Luna.
