Latin Ala Lee sees legendary jazz vocalist Peggy Lee interpret Broadway show tunes with a Latin beat, resulting in one of her most commercially successful albums. (US:11 UK:8)
“Peggy Lee was one of the first great singers of the 20th century to seriously integrate a Latin beat into her music, and this LP proves that she was very successful with it. I highly recommend this for fans of classic pop vocals and fans of that Afro-Cuban beat from the late 1950s and early 1960s.”
“No matter how many times you hear it you'll never tire of it. You can tell Peggy truly enjoyed recording this, every song is sensational. This is the kind of music to put on, whether you just get home from work and kick your shoes off, or have some friends over for a relaxing evening. Highly recommended.”
“The music is authentic Afro-Cuban jazz. It swings and Lee is ala Latin. This is wonderful stuff, her fans back in the early 60s must have thought she was crazy, however jazz vocal lovers will enjoy this gem.”
“The best Peggy Lee album ever because every song is great. The best show tunes ever written, sung by Peggy with a Latin beat and arrangements. Infectious, makes you happy to listen, to sing, dance, chases the blues away.”
“It is a masterpiece of mid-century camp, with groovy and sometimes frantic Afro-Cuban and Latin arrangements of familiar Broadway tunes, topped by the light and inimitably breathy phrasing of Miss Peggy Lee. Some of the songs are so far out that you can't imagine how she could get away with it.”
“Trading her cool jazz combo for a dynamic Latin beat, Lee goes right to town, singing classic Broadway show tunes in a bold new context. You'll be grinning from ear to ear as soon as you pop this disc on.”
"Miss Lee sings many popular show tunes from the 50s and 60s in saucy salsa style. The vocals are clear and clean.”
