Clarity of tone and an understanding that enunciation is a key element
in vocal jazz sums it up for Paula Lammers. She has selected some gems
in this album which is a huge plus.
Lammers is backed by musicians who are sensitive to her modus operandi
and this further adds to this delightful recording.
"Isn't It Romantic" is thought of a tune that gains new life in
weddings, but this song has a great melody which makes it a true
classic. Paula Lammers sings the verse, not often heard which adds a
new twist. Lammers simply sings the song in tune with grace and elegance
and it works beautifully.
"Too Close For Comfort" Gently swinging in a bright tempo, Lammers'
kicks it up a notch with the cool tenor sax of Gary Berg adding a nice
element in the background and he also solos lucidly with fine ideation.
Peter Schimke at the keyboards ably comps and jazzes things up a bit in
his soliloquy.
Nice tunes, a fine vocalist with good musicians always makes for fine
listening and this record is no exception.
