A recording of a passionate live performance at a prestigious club, featuring stunning scat singing and witty narration.
This album features footage of a performance at the prestigious Hollywood club Crescendo, and features witty narration and a flowing vocal range that demonstrates her unwavering presence. The selection of songs, primarily standards, brings out the unique qualities of a live performance.
The opening song, "It's Only A Paper Moon," grabs the audience with a good tempo, and her lustrous vocals and naturally flowing phrasing convey the heat of the live performance. She skillfully transitions smoothly into songs while incorporating narrative, and the mellow narrative delivery of "One For My Baby" and the soft control of "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" deepen her appeal. The second half of the album features the nuanced expression of "Autumn Leaves" and the sharp swing of "Lover Come Back To Me," which builds up to a comfortable momentum, and the album culminates in "I'm Beginning To See The Light," creating a live album filled with the elegance and dynamism of her heyday.
