One of my favourite discs

"I discovered Madeline Eastman quite by accident several years ago when someone bought me one of her other recordings as a gift knowing I was a big fan of jazz vocalists. This CD is her best, and one of my favorite discs overall. I have to strongly disagree that her sound is unattractive. I find her voice warm and expressive, her phrasing suberb, and her interpretations of these songs fresh and modern. I think she has excellent taste when it comes to choosing material, mixing old standards with songs other vocalists hardly touch. I love her rendition of "Say it isn't so" it's second to none, and the "I like you/I like you you're nice" combo is just a treat. I highly recommend this recording, and both of her others."
