专辑介绍：
Aaron Neville 一向以独特而鲜明的男高音假声唱腔，擅唱soul(pop&country)和R&B的歌曲，风格一听就知，今次唱片的主题则以Jazz乐的beat去演绎美国songbook standards的歌曲。Aaron唱腔别树一格，仿如装上弹簧的嗓子，振颤音调的唱法配合Jazz乐的swing的节奏感觉，产生不谋而合的趣味性，人声质感的立体性特强。《Nature Boy》唱片中大部份是抒情浪漫的歌曲，Aaron的歌声韵味十足,《Come Rain or Come Shine》道出爱情的阳晴矛盾，《Our Love is Here to Stay》是Gershwin另一道爱情作品，《The Shadow of Your Smile》(Bossa Nova节奏）及《Cry Me A River》等乐曲在Aaron戏剧性的演绎下，好像饮汤味或淡一样，完全是个人口味的问题。Aaron以轻快的舞曲节拍演绎《Summertime》，同样出色。Lionel Bart 的《Who Will Buy?》结合Funk 和Swing 的跳跃感，Bashiri Johnson的congas 加强了乐曲的节奏。能够四次获得格林音乐奖，Aaron的音乐成就肯定得到世人认同，今次在JAZZ乐领域的驰骋，背后有一班勇猛的星级将士，包括监制Rob Mounsey,小号Roy Hargrove,鼓手Grady Tate,低音Ron Carter，萨克斯风Michael Brecker,结他Ry Cooder和Anthony Wilson,还有Aaron的兄长Charles Neville.女歌手Linda Ronstadt和Aaron经常合作，其中在《Don’t Know Much》的合唱最令人难忘，今次合作演绎Ray Noble 的《The Very Thonght Of You》是唱片中唯一的合唱歌，两人的声线和谐，Roy Hargrove特别用flugelforn伴奏以配合柔和的音乐气氛，可见心思。

Aaron Neville's voice exists in that rarefied air occupied by only the most lyrical musicians, including Paul Desmond's alto saxophone and Miles Davis' muted trumpet. Sweet and throaty, reedy and always crying, it's capable of bewitching anyone within hailing distance -- including, in some cases, the singer himself. Nature Boy: The Standards Album, his first record for Verve, is naturally a jazz/vocal date; Neville tackled a dozen songs from the popular songbook, with accompaniment from a backing trio comprised of pianist (and arranger/conductor) Rob Mounsey, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate (plus one or two appearances each from Roy Hargrove on trumpet, Ry Cooder on guitar, and Ray Anderson on trombone). Though he has never recorded an album of pre-rock standards before, over the four decades of his career Neville has gained a deep familiarity with songs of this weight -- "Summertime," "Our Love Is Here to Stay," "In the Still of the Night," and "Cry Me a River." Understanding their power, he treats them with the utmost respect, a measure of feeling and devotion that causes him to always meet expectations but, unfortunately, never exceed them. Any Aaron Neville fan will know exactly what to expect from his version of "Summertime" or "Nature Boy" or even "Danny Boy," and Neville never displays the focused interaction between song and singer that's necessary to pull off a standard with decades of baggage attached. On several tracks, he does approach deserving the lofty term of jazz singer; he and Linda Ronstadt use their shared affection to anchor "The Very Thought of You," and the burly singer goes along for a splendid ride when the band adds a delicious hint of suspense into "The Shadow of Your Smile" (Neville's voice usually sounds better on darker material, lending a chill as when the sun passes behind a cloud). The American songbook should belong to him, an exceptional vocalist with such a deeply rooted performing persona, but it will do so only when he recognizes that the singer should never humble himself before the song.
