I can never get enough of this wonderful performer. She has a great way with a song and this is a delightful mix of numbers from the Vernon Duke catalog. You will delight to Klea's interpretations of songs you know and be glad she has introduced you to songs you hadn't heard before. So buy the thing already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Real singing on the classic American Songbook., October 14, 2005

Klea Blackhurst is unique in this day of sound alike vocalists taking their turn at the standards genre. Hear her once and you'll know her the second time. Her voice is fresh, articulate and pure, like the vocalists of the Golden Age of American Popular Song. She approaches Vernon Duke's material with understanding and respect. "I Can't Get Started" is like a new song in her hands. "Autumn in New York" and "April In Paris" reach new dimiensions in this intimate set of 12 tracks. Put this CD on and relax. You've got your own personal New York supper club. "Waiter, who is that on the bandstand?" "Klea Blackhurst. Enjoy the show."

I love this CD. I rate it better than the Upshaw album (which is also very good) because Klea Blackhurst has more of a cabaret type voice that is ideal for the songs of Vernon Duke. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because at under 40 minutes I feel they could have put a few more songs on this disc.
