about
For many years now, Yvette has been delighting audiences with her Ella Fitzgerald tribute shows. All that experience comes to fruition in her romping version of the Johnny Mercer-Harold Arlen standard That Old Black Magic. She utterly dominates the track while the band effortlessly brings to life a superb Billy May arrangement done for a certain Mr Sinatra.

A crisp take on old, scratchy Basie classics. Can't say I'm in love with the vocals, but instrumental tracks are killer.
Lots of good stuff to DJ from here. Jose Tello

I'm digging the covers. Some of these charts are harder to pull off with a small group (i.e. The Jeep is Jumpin'.) Overall it's a fun album with popular songs. The version of Castle Rock especially stands out. Jose Tello
