Album Notes & Community Reviews

Supported by an all-star West Coast ensemble featuring Benny Carter, the veteran swing-era vocalist delivers an exceptionally vibrant and blues-drenched set. Her buoyant, rhythmic phrasing and light, girlish timbre perfectly navigate both rollicking jump blues numbers and sophisticated jazz standards, marking a triumphant late-career resurgence.
