Album Notes & Community Reviews

Applying her signature whisper-thin, girlish vocals to the witty repertoire of the famous Broadway songwriting duo, the singer crafts an intimately charming cabaret-jazz album. Her surprisingly agile piano accompaniment grounds the lighthearted material in authentic, subtle swing. The record perfectly distills her unique persona as one of the era's most sophisticated and idiosyncratic interpreters of standard songs.
