| | Cleo Laine Cleo Laine CD |
| | Cleo is at one with the music and the philosophical sensuality of the Bergmans' jewel of a lyric. | | | Cleo Laine's remarkable singing has been heard in a range of contexts as varied as her vocal range (over four octaves) is wide. | | | Note Cleo scat-shadowing the horns in a jazzy, John Dankworth-arranged allusion to Phil Woods's alto saxophone on the original '77 Joel recording. |

| | Gerry Mulligan by Craig Hanley - Cleo Laine |
| | Laine's impeccable judgement, she has chosen songs for this album that mean a great deal to many people. | | | Laine's authority as a singer, the title speaks for itself. | | | Some of the guest appearances here are by artists who have made whole albums in tandem with Cleo, such as guitarists John Williams and flautist James Galway - whose brilliance in the classical music field has lent an enviable panache to their more popular outings - and the even more unpigeon-hole-able Dudley Moore. |

| | Cleo Laine premieres The Fools of Time by Proto and Chenault |
| | Cleo Laine and John Dankworth at the Kennedy Center - Washington D.C. Jazz singer Cleo Laine's gossamer vocal style was perfectly suited to premiere three sometimes-ethereal compositions Friday at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. | | | John Dankworth, Laine's husband and longtime collaborator, has made a habit of setting works by Shakespeare to music, dating back to their 1964 album, Shakespeare: And All That Jazz. | | | Dankworth--who played clarinet and alto and soprano saxophones--and Laine sound like an old married couple, in the best sense, whether he was finishing her musical sentences or they were romping in perfect sync through a rapid-fire melody like Turkish Delight. |

| | But, when veteran big-band singer Cleo Laine went into the studio to embark on a solo career, she realized one of the wildest ideas of all: singing Shakespeare to pop melodies. | | | The rock world, too, was drawn to Laine, and she sang Beatles songs in sessions helmed by producer George Martin. | | | Except for aficionados, Shakespeare: And All that Jazz (with arrangements by musical partner and husband, John Dankworth) was Laine's audacious introduction to the American public at large. |

| | Whether interpreting a collection of Shakespeare's sonnets set to music, appearing in Jazz Festivals, operas, or singing with Symphony orchestras and big bands, Cleo Laine is consistently finding new forums for her considerable range of talents. | | | However, it wasn't until her mid-twenties that she seriously applied herself to singing and auditioned for the hugely successful British band led by the acclaimed John Dankworth. | | | She originated the role of Princess Puffer in the Broadway hit musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood, for which she received a Tony nomination and earned a Theatre World Award as well as a Drama Desk nomination for best actress in a musical. |

| | There are no such sparks between Ray and Cleo, who had never met before this recording and for the most part laid down their vocals an ocean apart. | | | The biggest single difference is the wonderful rapport between Ella and Louis, they strike sparks off each other and that clearly loved singing together. | | | This two-disk recording didn't quite work out the way it was supposed to, because Ray never checked the final masters. |

| | Dame Cleo Laine's memory to Ella Fitzgerald, 'I Gotta Crush on You', was a vocal jazz phenomenon in range and rhythm. | | | The song means many things to different people who have written to me; about how it has affected their lives or how the lyric describes a loved one, from a baby to a lost pet, and then of course there is the obvious question, about who inspired the words. | | | I've often wondered how a composer and lyricist are inspired to write the lyrics and tunes that they do. |
