Bob Levy: All About Love: The Dane Vannatter Recordings, Vol. II
A cohesive song cycle that provides a tender massage for the listener’s ears, mind, and heart.
Shannon Daley: Love and Let Die: Confessions of a Bond Girl
The show, under the deft direction of Lennie Watts, was campy and heartbreaking, absurd and very romantic, witty and very serious.
Russ Lorenson: Standard Time: Live in New York
Lorenson’s retro crooner style evokes Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin while remaining uniquely his own.
Zachary Clause: Sherry Takes a Holiday
The trip with Sherry may not have been entirely without its bumps, but it was worth taking.
Norm Lewis: Summertime
His talent was obvious, as was his warmth, but overall the show was a mixed bag.
Susan Mack: No More Blues
Her vocals are expansive, and her presentation is open hearted. Mack also brings glamour to the stage.
Sweet Megg: Bluer than Blue
Vocalist Sweet Megg has a thoroughly appealing tone—now crystalline, now molasses, then sandy.
