"I have been a Joan Morris fan for over 20 years and own many of her superb albums. More than any others, "Let's Do It: Live in Aspen" is a dazzling tour de force for Ms. Morris and her accompanist/husband, William Bolcom. No singer can match Joan Morris's vocal and interpretive skills. Her phrasing and timing are impeccable! She can take a song you've heard a million times (by others) and make it breathtakingly unforgettable. Examples on this disc include "Always," "Bill," "Let's Do It" and - my favorite - "On the Banks of the Wabash." And William Bolcom's lilting piano composition, "Graceful Ghost," written in his father's memory, will knock your socks off!In short, treat yourself to this CD!"
A TERRIFIC INTRODUCTION TO MORRIS & BALCOM

"Beautiful authentic renditions of songs of a time long gone. This is a wonderful introduction to these two talented "musical archeologists" who can bring back terrific songs of an erea long forgotten (by most). If you don't know of them, this is a real good introdution to their superb artistry & authentic recreations of beautiful sentimental songs that should not be forgotten. These songs are STILL touching, and bring great pleasure. A SUPERB COLLECTION!"
