Jazz Etc.
By Paul de Barros
Seattle Times jazz critic
Michael Bublé, whose album "Call Me Irresponsible" (143/Reprise) has topped the jazz charts 14 weeks, is riding to the Vancouver airport, headed for Los Angeles.
Bublé's voice is deeper and more mature now than it was when he hit the international scene four years ago, able to sustain long, low notes and keep them full and rich. Has he been doing anything special to achieve this?
"I've moved up to four, five packs a day," quips the Canadian. "And then there's the bottle of scotch before breakfast."
At 31, Bublé is still a kid at heart, who loves to joke with the press, particularly about our hapless descriptives for voices — "smoky," "scotch 'n' soda," "honeyed."
Unlike a lot of performers, though, he actually likes interviews. He squeezed this one in at the last minute, despite the fact his Seattle shows at McCaw Hall — Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — have been sold out for weeks. (There are still tickets for the Monday show in Portland, though they are very expensive — $150-$305: www.ticketsnow.com.)
"I think I'm just older," he offers. "My range has naturally gotten lower and lower. And, like anything, the more you do it, the more you learn."
It's heartening that Bublé has continued to learn and grow. At first regarded with high suspicion by critics as yet another unctuous, Las Vegas-style derivative of Sinatra, Bobby Darin and Harry Connick Jr., Bublé has proved he is not just about style — which he definitely has on stage — but substance.
Many tunes on the new album were recorded live in the studio — with full band and strings — giving it a convincing, immediate feel.
"I afforded myself the opportunity to take a risk and sing live," he says. "Because of that, there's a little more continuity, emotionally. Maybe not as slick, but quite honest. The ballads were my favorite — 40, 50 strings and everyone's playing along. And you can really get into the lyric."
When Bublé launches into the bouncy Sinatra favorite "The Best Is Yet To Come," the track bristles with élan, thanks not only to Bublé but to arranger John Clayton, also the pen behind the last Diana Krall album.
"John is so brilliant," agrees Bublé, who says he personally invited Clayton and the great Bill Holman to write for the project. "John seems to be able to just take a song and make it stronger than you thought it would be. Just when you think it can't get any meatier, it does."
Never entirely a retro artist, Bublé has always done songs from the "second" Great American Songbook of the '60s and '70s. His bossa nova duet with the great Brazilian singer/songwriter Ivan Lins on Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" is a brilliant stroke. Miraculously, he and David Foster (who produced most of the album) transformed the dark, aching Leonard Cohen ballad "I'm Your Man" into swinging jazz.
Bublé grew up in Burnaby, B.C. (also home to Michael J. Fox), and after paying dues in local lounges and bars caught a break when former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney invited him to sing at his daughter's wedding. Foster was a guest, and the result was Bublé's first, self-named CD, released in 2003.
Since then, the effervescent showman has sold 13 million albums worldwide.
So why do two of the world's top jazz singers — Krall being the other — hail from British Columbia?
"Canada is a nation of observers," answers Bublé. "This American songbook is one of the greatest gifts ever given to the arts by America. We watch."
Bublé is doing a lot more than watching.
"Well, some people say there's nothing else to do in Canada Saturday night," he says, switching back to type.

FROM STANDARDS TO POP, HE REACHES A WIDE AUDIENCE |

When seated among Michael Bublé's demonstrably enthusiastic fans at one of his concerts, shows by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and more recently 'N Sync, the Spice Girls and Britney Spears come to mind. Screams, mostly high-pitched, greet the vocalist, and various items are lovingly and lustily hurled onto the stage. Bublé, 31, has worked hard for success, starting some 17 years ago with lounge shows in his native British Columbia. Now he tours with a big band, led by San Jose native Alan Chang, and he continues to attract a growing audience with both vintage and contemporary material. "The fun thing for me that I've noticed this tour is there's a lot more men," says Bublé by phone while en route to the Vancouver airport. "I think that that's really healthy. I never wanted to be - I don't know what you call it, but you get my point. I think that those kind of acts (sometimes) fade away quickly and that women get tired of them quickly. It was important for me to show up and perform for those guys that were dragged to my shows, so that they'd want to come back." These days, Bublé suspects, some men willingly come to his concerts with their girlfriends. On Saturday, when the Canadian vocalist plays Oracle Arena in Oakland, the crowd is likely to be diverse. "It's definitely a trip," the singer says, "young, old, gay, straight, white, black, rich, poor - you'll see everybody." According to band leader Chang, sometimes the Bublé magic rubs off on him, too. "If we go out after shows and people are waiting in line to meet Michael," he says, "they'll sometimes say, `Oh, let's get the band to sign (an autograph), too.' It's funny to meet young kids who think that Michael wrote (Cole Porter's) `I've Got You Under My Skin.' But they know all the words; 13-year-old girls know all the words to that song, which is great." Bublé has spoken admiringly of his own idols - Presley, Sinatra, Ray Charles, Bobby Darin - noting their abilities, in some cases, to dance and act, as well as sing. Bublé tried out acting on an episode of NBC's "Las Vegas," but his real versatility is in the sweep of his music. First, there are the standards, including "I've Got the World on a String" and "Call Me Irresponsible" (the title track on his latest CD, from 143 records/Reprise). Beyond the American Songbook, there are selections from Leonard Cohen ("I'm Your Man"), Van Morrison ("Moondance"), Eric Clapton ("Wonderful Tonight," a duet with the great Brazilian singer-songwriter Ivan Lins), etc. And finally, there are the hits Bublé has composed himself, including "Home" (from "It's Time," 2005, co-written with Chang and Amy Foster-Gillies). "I think that, if I had only sung standards, you might see a certain demographic in the audience," Bublé says. "But I've got a No. 1 song that I wrote, that's on pop radio in America ("Everything"), and I sing everything from Queen to Marvin Gaye to Otis Redding." He says it doesn't matter to him "when they were written, or by whom. If I can interpret them and come up with a great concept, then I do my very best." His charisma and showmanship are impressive. Asked about the response of audiences at his shows, he says, "I'm sincere when I sing, and I'm hoping that's a part of why people respond the way they do."Michael Bublé mercurynews |
