{"product_id":"but-beautiful-2","title":"But Beautiful","description":"Personnel: Nancy Wilson (vocals); Hank Jones (piano); Gene Bertoncini (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Grady Tate (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in New York City on November 4-6, 1969. Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald.\u003cbr\u003eNancy Wilson has been on the fringes of jazz throughout her career, mostly performing middle-of-the-road pop and R\u0026amp;B. Most of her albums were major productions, but her 1969 effort, But Beautiful, is quite different. On a relaxed and tasteful program of ballads (including three previously unreleased numbers), Wilson sounds properly expressive and a bit influenced by Dinah Washington, while backed by a flawless rhythm section comprised of pianist Hank Jones, guitarist Gene Bertoncini, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate. Her performances are straightforward, a little soulful, and very mindful of the melody and the lyrics. There is little of jazz interest here, but this is superior ballad singing and one of Wilson's finest recordings. ~ Scott Yanow","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46429435035935,"sku":"5060149621066","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/1d05f2d169fa4742c183bb98d14c6199.jpg?v=1777831499","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/but-beautiful-2","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
