One of Esther Phillips finest '70s releases, From
'A Whisper To A Scream' is the first of seven
albums the singer recorded for CTI offshoot Kudu.
Arranged and conducted by Pee Wee Ellis, the
December 1971 session also involved principal
players such as bassist Gordon Edwards, drummer
Bernard Purdie, percussionist Airto, guitarists
Cornell Dupree and Eric Gale, keyboardist Richard
Tee, and saxophonists Hank Crawford and David
Liebman. Setting the tone for Phillips' Kudu era,
'Whisper' offers a series of spacious, yet fully
arranged ballads of burning heartache, along with
a handful of relatively funky numbers that do
nothing to compromise her talent, dishing out
loads of classy grit. It's a definite point of
departure from the likes of 'Esther Phillips
Sings' and 'And I Love Him!', her field of
contemporaries closer to Al Green and Aretha
Franklin than before. She grabs onto 'Home Is
Where The Hatred Is,' Gil Scott-Heron's most
harrowing rumination on drug dependency -- which,
at that point, wasn't even a year old -- as if it
were her very own, and it's all the more poignant
given its parallels with her own life. (It?s
meaning was only compounded by her death in 1984.)
Though there is absolutely nothing lacking in the
album's more energetic moments, it's still the
ballads that shine brightest, like the alternately
fragile and explosive 'From A Whisper To A
Scream' (Allen Toussaint) and a staggering 'Baby,
I'm for Real' (Marvin and Anna Gordy, made popular
by the Originals) so vulnerable yet commanding
that it really should've closed the album.
