Laura Fygi's Bewitched is a straight-ahead jazz date in which the
attractive singer is joined by a rhythm section, a string section, and
some guests. She performs fresh and warm versions of a dozen songs, the
majority of which are ballads. The performances are concise (only one
tune exceeds four and a half minutes) and lightly swinging, although the
string section sometimes seems unnecessary. Toots Thielemans' harmonica
helps out on "Good Morning Heartache" and "Girl Talk," Clark Terry
uplifts "It's Crazy" and "The End of a Love Affair" with his flugelhorn,
and tenor great Johnny Griffin is featured on "I Only Have Eyes for
You," "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons," and "I Wish You Love."
Throughout, Fygi holds her own and sounds quite relaxed and musical,
making these standards her own. by Scott Yanow

Laura combines new interpretations of those love ballads from yesterday and today. Laura hits new heights with her unique renditions of Paul Simon's 'Still crazy', Michael Bolton's 'How am I supposed to live without you' and Van Morrison's 'Have I told you lately'. This electic album also looks further back in time to the quintessential Steve Wonder's 'Lately', Bangles's tracks 'Eternal Flame' together with Patti Austin and James Ingram's 'Baby come to me' and gives them the Laura Fygi jazzy mood for which she is world famous. An excellent album for round midnight with no lamplight on. Hear it, feel it and you must fall in love with it. web

Singer Laura Fygi is in excellent form on this set of bossa novas. Due
to the sweetening of a string section and some safe arrangements, the
music is quite accessible, if not too challenging. Fygi's voice is
lovely and she could excel in a much more sparse setting in the future
if given the opportunity. She is ably assisted by a variety of guests,
including appearances by Toots Thielemans, Clark Terry, and singer
Michael Franks; the latter contributed two songs and shares a vocal duet
with Fygi on "Tell Me All About It." An enjoyable listen. by Scott Yanow

On Watch What Happens, Laura Fygi tackles the songbook of Michel Legrand
with the assistance of Legrand himself. The composer arranged and
conducted the lush, lavish music and duetted with Fygion "Et Si Demain,"
but Laura remains the center of attention and her sypathetic, pretty
interpretations of Legrand's songs is what makes Watch What Happens an
enchanting album. by Rodney Batdorf
