The sweet, sweet voice of New Orleans native Aaron Neville first touched the hearts of American music lovers in 1966 with the moving “Tell It like It Is.” Since then he has gone funky, rockin’, and political with his family band, the Neville Brothers; hit the top of the pop charts with smooth ballads and duets with Linda Ronstadt; and recorded two gospel CDs....

Specifications:
There is nothing his voice takes on that doesn’t become ethereal, so it is no shocker that this set of jazz standards, Nature Boy, is heavenly. “Summertime” is a solstice hymn, “Blame It on My Youth” is intimately confessional, and the title cut is just as mystical as Nat King Cole’s version. Neville makes no attempt to take on the styles of classic jazz vocalists; he makes the material his own. On “Cry Me a River,” Neville uses the falsetto edge of his voice to sound as if he is about to break into tears, while on “Come Rain or Come Shine” he subtly soars into joy. That ever-present wavering between power and pain in Neville’s voice gives him an effortless openness for the ballads “Since I Fell for You” and “The Very Thought of You,” on which Linda Ronstadt shares vocals. “Who Will Buy” and “In the Still of the Night” are closer to the soft pop of his very popular solo releases. But for the most part Neville is in the jazz arena for Nature Boy; the band behind him includes guitarist Anthony Wilson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate, with guest appearances from Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove, Ray Anderson, and Ry Cooder. Still, it's never really the band that matters; it's Aaron Neville's singular voice and how he uses it to fully commit to every song. Roberta Penn
