She Loves Me pairs
Jack Jones with arranger Jack Elliott for the sweetest, sunniest record in the crooner's Kapp label catalog. Inspired by bossa nova and related Brazilian rhythms and textures, the music captures
Jones at his most effervescent, with a soufulness absent from his more traditional ballad sessions. The breezy appeal of cuts like "My Mood Is You," "Our Language of Love," and "The Lamp Is Low" contrasts with the emotional resonance of
Jones' vocals -- even at his most poignant, he remains a nimble stylist, navigating the supple curves and contours of the melodies with sophistication and grace. ~ Jason Ankeny
