Teddi at her very best

Zephemera | Los Angeles, CA USA | 04/06/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album along with "Now in Vogue" released around the same time on the Storyville label showcase the wonderful Teddi King with a tastefully eclectic mix of songs sure to become in gem in any jazz lover's collection. Teddi was sadly overlooked during her career, and never acheived the status or recognition she deserved. Her voice is sweet and achingly tender. Never a belter, she was at her very best with small jazz combos and subtle, understated arrangements. Several standouts on this disc are "The Talk of the Town", "What's New?" and "Love is a now and then thing". This album was out of print for many, many years before showing up as a Japanese import, so it's fabulous to see it again. If you want the perfect disc to spin for a romantic evening, this is it."
