I said the same thing about her last Album, about the softness of the recording

Yea, but I only meant some mild criticism , the recording is actually very very good just crank up the volume
The bass is very slightly r&b inspired ( r&b usually sounds thump pfff in the bass with no way discern any instruments there )
But her playing comes trough good.

Maybe the young lady has her hearing intact ? ( Many pro musicians are semi deaf for natural reasons ) .
So maybe ms Spalding was present during the production.

A natural paradox young ladies has the best hearing and is the most unlikely person to be an audiophile .

I put Linda Ronstadt's old "What's New" recording together with Paul McCartney's new "Kisses On The Bottom". Both of them are interpretations of standards; Linda is working with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, Paul is working with Diana Krall and her band. Musicianship is really top notch.

Randomized the playlist, and enjoyed two very different but very enjoyable takes on similar music.

They're both great recordings, but I'd have to give the edge to McCartney. Of course, there is almost thirty years between these records, and when Ronstadt did it it was a New Thing.

You'll hate the McCartney if you're expecting Beatles or Wings.
