Review by Andrew Cotterill

Cant Buy Me Love by Rita Reys and The Pim Jacobs Trio is a delightful album that features some of the most iconic songs of the 20th century. The album showcases the remarkable talent of Rita Reys, who is widely regarded as the greatest jazz singer in the Netherlands.

The album begins with the title track, Cant Buy Me Love, which is a classic Beatles hit. Reys and the trio give the song a jazzy twist with their unique arrangements and improvisation. The album also includes other popular songs such as My Funny Valentine, The Shadow of Your Smile, and You Go to My Head, all of which are given a fresh and exciting interpretation by Reys and the trio.

The chemistry between Reys and the Pim Jacobs Trio is evident throughout the album. The trio, consisting of Pim Jacobs on piano, Ruud Jacobs on bass, and Wim Overgaauw on guitar, provide the perfect accompaniment to Reys' vocals. Their musical interplay is a joy to listen to, and they complement each other perfectly.
