Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tackling the sophisticated, often cynical songbook of Rodgers and Hart, the fiercely independent vocalist is paired with the swinging, brassy orchestrations of Billy May. The singer's horn-like phrasing and rhythmic agility perfectly match the sharp, dynamic big band charts. The album is a brilliant synthesis of witty lyrical interpretation and powerhouse instrumental swing.
