Donna Bailey brings life to these standards!
author: Bob Karlovits - Pittsburgh Tribune ReviewDonna Bailey brings life to a collection of songs that sometimes staggers with far less creativity... and having the help of guitarist-arranger Ken Karsh doesn't hurt at all.
- author: Paul Nagy - Pittsburgh Jazz Society Board Mamber Emeritus
It's by far the best thing she's done - with outstanding musicians to compliment her "Toni Tenille-like" qualities. Look out Karrin, Diana, Nancy & Tierney...Donna's joined the club!
