This is an excellent CD! It was suggested to me by a friend who knows I have a high expectation for jazz. Not only do I love the song selections, I love the voice and the musicians are outstanding. I honesty have not heard about Deborah Brown, but that just shows you, we don't know what we think we know. This is one CD you most definitely want in your CD rotation. Although it was produced a few years ago,it is as timeless, fresh and pure as if you were hearing it "live" for the first time. If you love jazz vocals, Deborah Brown is one of the greatest voices in jazz music this century. 5 stars hands down! Would love to be apart of your next project. With kind regards, Paul

Queen, priestess, diva? You might want to call her all those things. This woman cannot be out-done as far as jazz and jazzy blues vocals goes. You could say her voice comes from her gut, and yet you would just be striking the surface; they come from much, much deeper and yet still have the buoyancy of being carried on the wind. It wouldn't even matter so much as to the quality of the back-up band as her phenomenal voice could make a toy piano band sound extraordinary- but no, she is only accompanied by the finest of musicians and artists. Don't miss this album if jazz even remotely appeals to your senses. Be reminded that the human voice IS an instrument, after all.
