A very nice collection. Ginai has a warm, vibrant voice and sings beautifully. She is backed by the excellent Honolulu Jazz Quartet. I especially liked Take five, Days of wine and roses, Do nothin', Whisper not. The rendition of Blue moon is wonderful.

The CD Jazz Island by Ginai represents world class jazz for any audience.  Ginai effectively shows that you don’t need “original material” (there is only one original song “Jazz Island”) to create in the jazz medium.  Most of the songs are old jazz standards, including the beautiful “Poor Butterfly” ( my favorite) reinterpreted by a seasoned professional who has lived the “jazz” life.   Ginai, like all good jazz singers,  shows she has total control of pitch (she bends her notes amd uses vibrato at appropriate times) and rhythm (she “ plays with” the beat) in producing distinctive and satisfying renditions of “Blue Moon, “ “Whisper Not,” “Days of Wine and Roses,” “Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me,” “Take Five” and “Them There Eyes”among others.  This is mainstream jazz at its best and the Honolulu Jazz Quartet adds much to the overall ambience by providing top-notch classic “chamber” jazz. 

Nice tracks that suggest a Hawaiian tinge (to adapt Jelly Roll Morton’s famous remark), are “Puamana/All Blues,” “Jazz Island”( a seductive tune celebrating aloha) and “Island of Make Believe.”  An album full of gems puts Ginai in the company of classic women jazz vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Billie Holiday.  Ginai has more than a beautiful voice—she projects a total jazz experience;  so buy the CD and you will be enthralled.
