We Say...
Of all the '50s-based Italo-crooners, Bennett has survived into the modern age by celebrating a classicism; at this point he is a virtual repository of the great American canon of standards. His warm-blooded takes (and alternates!) on the Greatest Hits of Richard and Larry - the latter as a lyricist surely more urbane and darker than his upbeat '40s successor, Oscar - swings them into a timelessness far from their roots in America's Depression years. "Blue Moon": need I say more? And for fans of the second person familiar, "Thou Swell."

They Say...
Smooth jazz stalwarts the Rippingtons infuse their trademark brand of instrumental pop with a Latin aesthetic on Wild Card. Once again featuring the lead guitar of Russ Freeman, the Rippingtons deliver a solid collection of mellow contemporary pop and lite jazz that should please longtime fans. Evenly split between R&B-inflected cuts such as the Aretha Franklin hit "Till You Come Back to Me" and Latin tracks including the flamenco-inspired "Spanish Girl" and the salsa-ready "Mulata di Mi Amor," Wild Card is a pleasant listen.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
