Ebersole’s warm tone, pristine pitch, crisp diction, and smart interpretation, coupled with Lawrence Yurman’s delicious jazz-of-today arrangements, deliver a recording that should be in the collection of any fan of vocal jazz.
Zollman has a crisp, clean vocal quality that eschews histrionics and gets to the heart of each song in a pure, unfettered style.
A romantic singer whose shimmering voice is worthy of more attention.
