Title: Seriously good vocal jazz!
Review: If you're into the technique and stylings of June Christy, Chris Conner, Helen Merrill and Anita O'Day you will flip over this recording. This is on par with any of the best recordings from the afore-mentioned singers. Honi has a wonderful voice that really conveys the mood of the songs she's selected. That the music provided by the supporting quintet stands on it's own is a real bonus. Ken McIntyre's magical and mystical flute and the beautiful guitar work by Wally Richardson really add to the appeal. Listen to this and you might wax nostagicaly about a warm fifties something summer evening in a really hip part of town before we were concerned with terrorism, aids and a million other ugly things. This recording will set a mood for you that you will probably wish you could stay in forever. I really like it and I think you will to. By the way, the playback quality is very good. If you have a decent system this is one to play for your friends!
