Review

On this 1988 recording, Susannah McCorkle works with confidence and forthrightness on songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, and others, and in "Sometimes I'm Happy," an homage to Lester Young and King Pleasure. Her style is intuitive and swinging-and-swaying; her voice is romantic but with a post-Sexual Revolution sensibility. She pays attention to what is in the songs, musically and lyrically, with a somewhat wounded inflection in the romantic numbers. She nominates Billie Holiday as her gateway to jazz. The band does her great justice. The star guests are two guitarists--the lamented late Emily Remler, and Bucky Pizzarelli. Also outstanding is pianist (and vocalist) Dave Frishberg, especially on "Everything's Been Done Before," a subtle ballad duet associated with Louis Armstrong. --Peter Monaghan
