(4 out of 5 stars)
"This album is perfect for enjoying a quiet evening at home with someone you love, entertaining for a dinner party, a driving home, singing along at the top of your lungs. The song choices are not the most obvious, but rather, hidden gems from composers like Sondheim, Gershwin, Rogers & Hamerstein and more. Standouts are tunes like the Carol Bayer Sager/Peter Allen 70's hit, "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love," and "I Got Lost In Her Arms," from "Annie Get Your Gun." Soothing vocals over a wonderful jazz trio or full strings, LeMel delivers a truly classic Jazz vocal album with tunes and a voice that will never go out of style. Get this as a love letter to your sweetheart or your parents/grandparents. Better yet, itroduce this recording a young person as lesson in great songwritting and interpretaion of song."
