Isabelle Georges - Something to Live For (2006)

“It is an understatement to say that their musical understanding is more than perfect. Unquestionably, Isabelle knows the song and dares to venture into a repertoire that is sometimes complex (the three Duke Ellington compositions) or in familiar territory (the Broadway operettas signed by the greatest composers of the genre). Alternately mischievous or serious, always with a beautiful accuracy in all registers for a soprano voice, she demonstrates here the qualities of a jazz singer (her versions of Love For Sale, Over the Rainbow and I Got It Bad). René, who in his time accompanied a few so-called variety singers and not the least, finds in his partner the opportunity to present a new facet of his talent.~Jacques Chesnel
