Principally recorded at Capitol Studio B, Los Angeles, California.
Diane Schuur's first release on Atlantic Records is a stunner. Produced by label founder Ahmet Ertegun, MUSIC IS MY LIFE shows why Schuur is one of the most appealing and powerful female singers on the international jazz scene.
MUSIC IS MY LIFE features standards such as Cole Porter's "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To," "That Old Devil Called Love," and a gorgeous version of the chestnut "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." True, there's little risk-taking in the choice of material, but Schuur's performances are impeccable.
Additionally, the singer's freeform deconstruction of the pop classic "I Only Have Eyes For You," Rodgers and Hart's "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and the title track showcases her tremendous vocal range and power. Schuur's singing--often compared with Ella Fitzgerald--is pure perfection of the kind that stands up against any jazz vocalist of any era.
