"....has done it again! Her way of treating the words, the rythm, and the feeling of great joy that she brings to the listener make this recording a must for anyone who loves fine jazz music. Alice Babs with her light, clear voice is and, I'm sure, will always be one of the most appreciated singers, not only in Sweden but also worldwide. Also listen to the "band" which is really great! I strongly recommend you to go out and get this CD, and give yourself the opportunity to experience - a real star. Also listen to her other recordings, such as "Serenading Duke Ellington", which is another outstanding example of her musicality - it's fantastic!"
