Title: New Take on (Mostly) Old Stuff
Review: I heard of Ann Hampton Calloway some years back as she was playing Manhattan cabarets. I never really listened carefully when I ran across her work, but this CD made me sit up and take notice. She has a strong, unique voice and style. Her "Too White to Sing the Blues, Blues" is so much more than a novelty song. It is funny, it is bluesy, it is captivating. Her "Blue Moon," is the best version of this standard that I've heard. I never particularly liked that song, until I heard Ms. Calloway's rendition. Super CD.
