A Timeless Place is an album by the musician Jeri Brown, released in 1995.[2][3] The album was nominated for a Juno Award for "Best Mainstream Jazz Album".[4]
Production
[edit | edit source]The album was produced by Jim West.[5] Brown was accompanied by Jimmy Rowles on piano and Eric Von Essen on bass; Rowles also sang on "Baby, Don't Quit Now".[2][5] The album was recorded in Hollywood in May 1994.[6][7] A classically trained vocalist, Brown decided to sing in a more natural style on A Timeless Place.[8] "Morning Star" was cowritten by Rowles and Johnny Mercer.[7]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]
Tucson Weekly wrote that "the lyrics are clever, the melodies oddly shaped, the changes sophisticated, and the ambiance more than suggests that stereotypical late night jazz/lounge hang."[11] The Toronto Star stated that "Brown opts for the craft and laid-back intimacy of phrasing exemplified by Cleo Laine and Billie Holiday."[2]
The Calgary Herald determined that "Brown sounds more like a cabaret performer than a jazz vocalist with her straight-arrow ballad renditions, while Rowles furnishes nothing more than barely-adequate accompaniments."[6] The Omaha World-Herald panned the "overdramatic Lena Horne route."[12]
AllMusic wrote that "Brown gives great emphasis and feeling to the often sensuous (and occasionally witty) lyrics."[9]
