She certainly did her part proving her point with this excellent record. Never pretentious or over-extended, song after song it hangs its hat on solid foundations, and flawless execution. It’s a great listen. It sets a great mood, the musicians are all top shelf, it’s engaging, and even though it’s not pioneering it carves out a niche that should please any jazz fan.
