Live the Life
Ilona Knopfler
℗ 2005 Mack Avenue Records MAC 1021
On Live the Life, French chanteuse Ilona Knopfler makes a strong musical statement that further defines her place in the jazz world. The CD features twelve timeless songs from the pens of such legendary and diverse songwriters as Ivan Lins, Charles Aznavour, Thelonius Monk, Claude Nougaro, Abbey Lincoln, and Thomas A. Dorsey – whose “I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song” kicks off the session and inspired the CD’s title. Live the Life highlights the purity of Ilona’s voice, emphasizes her eclectic stylistic abilities and pairs her with a world panoply of supporting players. The result is a lush, atmospheric collection that, in Ilona’s own words, “is a tribute to my unconditional love of music.” |
