专辑介绍
by Scott Yanow
Susannah McCorkle, who consistently brings out new meanings in the lyrics she interprets, performs 16 Irving Berlin songs (complete with verses and sometimes lesser-known stanzas) on this delightful set. There is solo space for trumpeter Gregory Gisbert, trombonist Conrad Herwig, young tenor great Chris Potter and altoist Jerry Dodgion; the arrangements by Rich DeRosa are surprisingly modern, and McCorkle is heard in prime form. Among the many highlights are a wistful rendition of &Let's Face the Music and Dance,& and a sensuous &Cheek to Cheek,& &Let Yourself Go,& and a wonderful closer, a version of &Waiting at the End of the Road& on which the singer is accompanied only by the rhythm guitar of Al Gafa. Although this interpretation of &There's No Business Like Show Business& (greatly slowed down and surprisingly touching) is not quite as classic as McCorkle's version of a decade earlier, this is overall a highly recommended set by a superb singer.
