Offering up a mix of bluesy jazz vocals covering some well known song standards, All Shades Of Blues is a fine introduction to the art of singer Beverly Lewis. Recording in South Florida, Beverly gets fine support from some gifted musicians including guitarist John Fifield—a guitar multi-tasker who is often masterful at merging a number of electric guitar sounds and styles, sometimes within the scope of a single song. Covers highlighted on the ten track, 38 minute CD include fine renditions of the Cannonball Adderly classic, written by Joe Zawinal, “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” and the B.B. King favorite “Everyday I Have the Blues”, here blending in the Billie Holiday standard “Fine And Mellow.” That uptempo, rockin’ groove is what Ms. Lewis excels at. Some writers have mentioned comparisons between Beverly Lewis and time honored vocal icons like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday and after hearing her album it's hard to argue with that point. Backing up Beverly's musical appeal here are top players such as Sammy Figueroa (percussion), Randy Singer (harmonica), and Lee Levin and Göran Rista (drums). In addition to fine mixing from Göran Rista and mastering by Bob Katz, the CD also benefits from a number of horn players, including those who have worked with jazz-rock icon Blood, Sweat & Tears. Offering an interesting contrast to John Fifield’s work on his recent solo album, It Is What It Is... the sound of All Shades Of Blues is very well recorded and overall the CD presents an impressive album of solid jazzy blues. www.BeverlyLewis.net
