Anyone who's seen Jill Scott live knows she's the real deal--a down-home diva more concerned with working a melody or getting her groove on than Britney-fied glitz or Badu-style pride. So it's no surprise that the singer's warmth translates beautifully on Experience, a collection of 11 live tracks recorded at Washington D.C.'s Constitution Hall, plus 6 previously unreleased cuts. With the Headhunters-esque intro of "A Long Walk" that opens the double disc, Scott and her more-than-capable backing band, Fatback Taffy, establish a heartfelt rapport with the audience that comes through not only in their reinterpretations of the singer's tunes, but in the pauses in between. This is apparent throughout, like when Scott notices a pregnant woman in the crowd and says with a giggle, "I see that baby in that belly over there--what's that baby doing?" Or when the Philly native belts the bridge on "Love Rain," intoning the line "You broke me, but now I'm healing" in lush, redemptive timbres. As for the new studio tracks, Scott offers up a set of solid originals that should leave fans plenty satisfied till her new album drops. Tracks like "Gimme," a funk-heavy dance track, and the drum & bass-driven "Gotta Get Up," are about as infectious as they come, while "Be Ready" features Scott's voice at its most gorgeous, her rich alto punctuating the song's syncopations with grace and ease. --Sylvia W. Chan

Summary: Blazin' & Amazin' Jilly from Philly ... (UPDATE 6-17-08) 2008-04-05
Comment: I adore this woman! I swear when I first heard of her (from the "Collaborations" CD), I couldn't believe I what I've been missing. It has been about a good 20 years since I've heard vocals like Jill's. This CD ("Experience") is absolutely the best LIVE album of all time! No kidding. This woman moved me and I was not present at her show! I never heard of Jill Scott until last year (2007) when I got her "Collaborations" CD.
Jilly from Philly is a musical gem, one we've all longed for and now we have her.
Jill's vocal range is probably an 8, a rarity in the past 20 years. Sarah Vaughan's and Ella Fitzgerald's range were an 8. For Sass, perhaps 9! LOL Talk about fine singers. Jill Scott's name is up along with Sassy Sarah Lois Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, First Lady of Song.
You go, Sister Jill. -- an avid fan 4ev'r. AB
UPDATED (6/17/08): For those who do not know, there is a brief silent period after the last track entitled "Free". I had my headphones on my ear listening for about 3 minutes of dead space on my MP3 player when I heard two additional tracks!!! It begins exactly 3:48 seconds after "Free" is finished. There is a revamped version of "Gotta Go to Work" and following this track is the lovely club-disco mix of "He Loves Me". Surprise...surprise!!
Note: I want a club-disco mix version of Free, He Loves Me, Sweet Justice, You Got me (especially this track) and more! Please...someone help...I gotta gotta gotta get the club remixes of some of Jill's finest works. : )

Summary: Perfection! 2008-01-22
Comment: Jill Scott is perfection!!! Everything about her is so organic. She is the ultimate at speaking to our minds hearts and inner most being. Deep only touches the surface when describing her. I just love this album. Studio albums are great but with a live album you can just feel the music. You can feel her feeling her lyrics. I love it! Nobody like her
