Title: Somewhat reminiscent of early excellent Jack Jones
Review: This CD marks a partial return to form for Jack Jones. For a change, he's doing only songs that are worthy of his talent and for that reason, he doesn't need to gussy up the songs with vocal tricks to make them more palatable. He sings them straight, and the results are generally very fine, especially on "You Must Believe in Spring" and "It Amazes Me." "One For My Baby" is more like Sinatra's version than Bennett's, though it has a hint of that honky tonk piano Bennett likes to use when he's singing it.Jones' voice isn't what it once was, but he's still in there swinging. His best since his Michel Legrand album of the early 70's.
