Mayita Dinos is a bonafide songbird of paradise who in creating The Garden Is My Stage has sung into existence an organic classic, not felt or heard since Carole King’s 1971 Tapestry album. It’s an amalgamation of songs and styles that uplifts, transforms, and inspires.
It is a testimony to exquisiteness, made perfect with evocative vocal interpretations that transport the listener to a blissful experience where a jazzy “Ornithology” (Charlie Parker/Mayita Dinos) flows into “Come Back as a Flower” (Stevie Wonder/Syreeta Wright), and delivers a dream-like “Woodstock” (Joni Mitchell) with astonishing ease. Then, Dinos gifts us with her own melody in haunting Spanish in “La Lola” (lyrics by Federico Garcia Lorca).
With 13 cuts on this CD, we are commanded to hit “replay” again and again, just to delight in her version of “Spanish Harlem” (Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller) or her spellbinding “Willow Weep for Me” (Ann Ronell).
Honestly, “The Garden Is My Stage” is a dream dance where
tranquil shadows play and trumpet flowers blow. The musicians are impeccable,
the arrangements are brilliant, and Mayita Dinos, we learn, is the shape shifter.
Incredibly, this debut CD deserves its place in the sun.
