"Dianne Schuur is possibly the most complete singer of the traditional jazz. Her charismatic presence and heartfelt conviction around all what she sings, make of her a true living legend.
This album is a pleasant and refreshing album, filled of superb versions of endless themes that still float in our memories, once we have deeded to take a break in our daily activities, or for all privileged people who reserve a dinner table in some of those magnificent and famous Jazz Clubs in Manhattan.
Don't hesitate just for second and decided to acquire. It will be a rewarding choice.

"There's even more!...A 47 (Forty-Seven) piece String Section! The best of the best Arrangers like: Johnny Mandel, Clare Fischer, and Billy May just to name a few! An almost flawless selection of songs (All remakes) in tribute to some of the best female vocalists of all-time like: Billie Holiday, Anita O'Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Dinah Washington just to name a few! A lavish booklet with picture and historical stories of every artist Diane Schuur is covering (Including how this project came about). Like ALL of Diane Schuur's albums there are no less than 3 (Three) or 4 (Four) awesome performances...Those being: "`Round Midnight", "Body And Soul", "Black Coffee", and a spine tingling version of "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye". It should be noted that this album is totally in the Pop, MOR (Middle Of The Road) and Jazz-Pop mode, so if you've never bought ANY Diane Schuur album you might not want to make this your first experience (Not that it would kill you)...Now if you've bought her (Dianne Schuur) albums before...Welcome to 7th heaven!!! Oh! I almost forgot to mention Diane Schuur has walked away with 2 (Two) or more Grammy Awards, so that should tell you something???. A big thumbs up to Andre Fischer for really showing of his production skills!"
