"This is Short at his best. There's no brass section to drown out his voice or his piano, and you can hear the audience at the Cafe Carlyle react to his performance. Short's interpretation, along with Beverly Peer's and Robert Scott's, never gets stale. You can listen to this CD a hundred times and hear new aspects each time."

"Owning nearly all of Bobby Short's albums, this is the one I play the most. I love his style! He recorded at an actual preformance which added more intimacy to the of the album."
Agree!

"This is an very special gem. I love Mr. Shorts handling of the music. His voice is as nimble as the feet of Astaire and soothing and beautiful as cool water on a sizzliing summer day. For my birthday last year My partner and I dined at the Carlyle it was pure joy. We could feel the warmth and spirit of Mr. Short everywhere. If you love American songbook as much as We do this will be a welcome addition to the family."
Almost Like Being There!

"Bobby Short was always about his live performances. Hearing this CD makes you think you are actually in the audience of one of his best night's performances. Once I got to hear him live at a concert in Houston. Frankly, I was disappointed because his voice sounded so hoarse and raspy to me. But here he sounds great...a wonderful addition to my Bobby Short collection."
