2007 US Limited edition,reissue on audiophile 180 g vinyl LP Mastered by Bernie Grundman direct from the original analogue masters. - The Groove Note Records team of Joe Harley (producer), Mike Ross (engineer) and Ying Tan (executive producer) join forces once again to orchestrate the second release from the label's first artist Jacintha. Autumn Leaves is a collection of twelve songs from Johnny Mercer.

'Autumn Leaves' finds Jacintha in excellent form and, once again, delivering several strong performances on many of the songs. One of the highlights of the album is the title track which finds Jacintha singing in the original French intro and first verse as well as the later Johnny Mercer English lyrics.

We weren't the only ones impressed with Jacintha's vocal prowess, she also caught the attention of Bordertown Pictures (Touchstone Pictures) and a team arrived during the recording session to capture a brand new version of the Grammy-award winning song 'Here's To Life.' With Jacintha featured on vocals and the backing of Kei Akagi (piano), Teddy Edwards (tenor sax), Larance Marable (drums), Joe La Barbera (drums) and Darek Oles (bass) the musicianship on the recording is fantastic. Artie Butler, the Grammy winning composer of 'Here's To Life' was also in attendance and played the Hammond B-3 organ on the track! The song was featured in the opening title sequence for the Ron Shelton film 'Play It To The Bone.'

'Play It To The Bone,' by Touchstone Pictures (a division of the Disney Corp.,) is directed by Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, Tin Cup, Blaze, White Men Can't Jump) and stars Antonio Banderas, Woody Harrelson and Lolita Davidovich. The film was released nationwide on January 14, 2000.

This album includes Jacintha's performance of 'Here's To Life' as a bonus track on the 45rpm extra LP. The album was recorded live direct to 2-track and was mastered using Sony's new Direct Stream Digital (DSD) process by Bernie Grundman in Hollywood to produce an album of true audiophile quality sound.

Jacintha recording, a selection of Johnny Mercer tunes, is the most lovely. Let me first state that I am not a fan of the "beautiful woman sings beautiful songs, recorded in full audiophile sound" genre, and, fortunately, this album misses that category. Sure, Singapore-born Jacintha fits the beautiful tag, as does her voice. And the numbers certainly were and remain state-of-the-art in popular song. But Jacintha brings the soul of a jazz singer and the skill of a true interpreter to the proceedings. As famous as "Moon River," "Here’s To Life," "One For My Baby" and "Autumn Leaves" are, she sings them as freshly as the day they were written. Her fellow musicians, Teddy Edwards on tenor, Kei Akagi on piano, Darek Oles on bass, Larance Marable and Joe LaBarbera on drums, Anthony Wilson on guitar, Will Miller on trumpet and Artie Butler on Hammond, all offer sensitive and inspired accompaniment, especially Edwards. And, of course, Joe Harley does his usual excellent and tasteful job of producing (he also produced the McShann album). The result is an album that steps lightly and swings with grace, but also has depth and body. Recommended then, and not just as an audiophile toy, but solely because of the music. The fact that it is a true demo album is an added, if not insignificant, bonus. - Toddwarnke soundstage
