Rebecca Kilgore: I Like Men (Arbors Records)
by Dave Gelly
London Observer, August 10, 2014
Still little known in Britain, but with a solid following in the US, Rebecca Kilgore
stands out among the current generation of "standards" singers, not only for her
considerable vocal talents but also as a seeker-out of neglected songs. Here, mixed
in with more familiar material, you will find such outbursts of exasperated affection
as Down Boy, An Occasional Man and The Gentleman Is a Dope. Together with tenor saxophonist
Harry Allen's quartet (including that immaculate pianist Rossano Sportiello), Kilgore
brings them all swinging back to life. Well over an hour of subtle perfection.
