Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Dianne Reeves At Her Best Comment: This is a great and educational movie, but the soundtrack is what makes it! Dianne Reeves is at her very best on this cd, as she sings some of the oldies from the 40's and 50's. She doesn't force it, and her smooth voice breathes new life into some of these long forgotten songs. A must for anyone who loves the blues or late-night jazz. Customer Rating: Summary: In one word.......Great Music!!! Comment: I bought this record, because first of all I love the more than beautiful voice of Dianne Reeves and here her voice created the right atmosphere for this B/W motion picture. It sparkles and with a glass of wine completes a Romantic evening .....if you're a real jazzmusic lover, buy this one.....you won't regret it. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Night, and Good Luck soundtrack Comment: If you don't like jazz, Dianne Reeves will make you a believer. If you do like jazz, you'll reach new heights with this. Customer Rating: Summary: Very good recording from a frustrating singer Comment: I heard good things about Dianne Reeves, but saw her in concert and was very unimpressed. She obviously had a great voice but her performance didn't deliver. This record shows what she can do. Perhaps she's one of those artists who needs someone else providing the direction so she can shine? Customer Rating: Summary: great album - the best voice Comment: extremely good album, showing how good Dianne is even when acompanied by just a few instruments. she has the best instrument of all anyway.

Editorial Reviews: Dianne Reeves's cool contralto, fronted by a quicksilver combo featuring saxophonist Matt Catingub and pianist Peter Martin, provides the flowing jazz soundtrack to George Clooney's 1950s, film detailing the epic struggle between the legendary TV newsman Edward R. Murrow and the Communist-baiting Senator Joseph McCarthy. Reeves' delivery is flawless and swinging on these mostly mid-tempo/ballad takes on several timeless classics (including Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right," Duke Ellington's "Solitude," and the bouncy Dinah Washington hit "TV is the Thing This Year"). Two other selections, "Pick Yourself Up" and "Too Close for Comfort," dance with a Latin lilt; the lone instrumental, "When I Fall in Love," is as romantic as they come. Mr. Murrow, who profiled both Ellington and Louis Armstrong on his pioneering See it Now show, loved jazz, so it's fitting that the music's grounding in freedom of expression and improvisation counterweighs the horrors of McCarthy's liberty-killing abuses. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
