5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful, fantastic collection, September 21, 2004

This is a beautiful collection of songs...truly a joy to listen to! As both a fan of Broadway tunes and Janis...I applaud and admire her version of these songs. I recently (last night in fact!) saw Janis perform live in Kalamazoo, MI and immediately bought her CD as a result. I loved "Sorry-Grateful," "My Best Beau" and "Make Someone Happy" especially though...her version of "Surrey With the Fringe on Top" was also really enjoyable...fun to see what a artist can do with a "standard" to make a song you thought you knew that much better! Oklahoma (the musical) will never be the same to me... Lots of feeling in this music and don't think you can go wrong!

This is the best album I've heard in a long time. Great singer with flawless pitch and gorgeous tone, great song selection with original and individual arrangements -- every cut is a winner. I can't imagine any fan of Broadway or jazz singers will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars WoW-What a jazz singer!!!, May 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sketches of Broadway (Audio CD)

Each song is unique and sounds nothing like the others! A diverse selection of songs that are heart-felt, meaningful, jazzy and beautifully sung. "It Never Was You" by Kurt Weill will bring tears to your eyes, while others will give you a chuckle. The back up musicians are great. If you like female jazz singers and Broadway interpretations, then you MUST BUY this album!!!
