Editorial Reviews

Ernestine Anderson's recent concert appearances have been a revelation for those who consider themselves fans of the veteran jazz singer. The latest incarnation of a singer we've been listening to for decades is even more tightly focused, delivering every song with exactly what is needed. Some critics feel that Anderson has the widest emotional range of any jazz singer in the world. Here she is partnered with tenor sax master Houston Person in a program drawn from the Great American Songbook.

How amazing Ernestine sounds on her latest CD. Her voice is full of warmth and life and she swings with the best of them. Great songs, great band, great interpretations. For jazz vocal lovers this is a must have CD.

Still at the top of her game, and given the episodes of adversity in life, it's amazing to hear her sound so seasoned and together. Never having gotten her due attention and accolades, Ms. Anderson represents the under-reported side of Jazz. Every song ('This Can't Be Love', 'Candy') is hers and wonderfully interpreted. Hearing this, one can only smile. And marvel. Excellent CD.
