Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping outside her celebrated 'Song Book' series, the First Lady of Song tackles a diverse array of upbeat standards and swinging ballads. Supported by varying orchestral and small-group arrangements masterminded by Nelson Riddle and Frank DeVol, her flawless pitch and rhythmic agility remain at the absolute forefront. The release highlights her unmatched ability to inject profound joy and swinging precision into familiar material.
