Title: Not flawless, but VERY good!
Review: Ok, it is always a matter of taste. This may be not a typical B. Dearie album, wich means, you will not find a Jazz Combo. Those who are jazz buffs should start by somewhere else. But for those who enjoy traditional vocal Pop, will find these recordings very rewarding. The arrangements are a little contained, but very well designed by the master Russ Garcia, who respected the "light" voice of the performer, giving a non-obstructive orchestral dressing, in other words, lots of vibraphone and woodwinds. It sounds very nice. Plus, aside of the overrercorded songs like " Guys and Dolls", you will find some other tunes that are almost rare like Porter's "The Physician" and Rodger's "Too Good For..." . And even if you say "not her best" due to the bright of other recordings of her, it deserves at least four stars for its contents.
