Angie Wells & Raphael Lemonnier

Love and Mischief

Self Produced

2017

Some vocal recording debuts are tentative and readily sound as such. Not so, for Philadelphia singer Angie Wells. On her newly minted Love and Mischief, she spins out eleven (including one bonus track) mostly standards (with two originals) that are burn-the-barn smoldering with a centripetal swing. Well's has a sharply-balanced alto voice that suffers fools and bad material poorly. Full-service pianist Raphael Lemonnier is given almost equal billing for providing a complete range of musical moods for Wells. On the original, "She Ain't the Kind of Girl," Lemonnier pulls out his best churchy Gene Harris, pouring the gasoline on this seething expression of desire. Wells and Lemonnier update Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehaving" with a jaunty rhythm and time while caressing "I'm in Moody's Mood for Love," a medley of "I'm in the Mood for Love" and "Moody's Mood for Love." This performance is simply exceptional. Intimate and close, Wells and Lemonnier, with guest vocals by Bili Redd (who also joins Wells for a sexy "Baby, It's Cold Outside) demonstrate the proper way to play a ballad. The surprise of the disc is the bonus cut "One Mint Julep," performed in a solid 1960-soul-jazz style. Angie Wells has arrived...big time.
