Wow, what a way to blast onto the scene! Play this album once and you'll play it over and over. A fresh new sound in the style of the classic jazz singers, Michele has the vocal quality and song selections -- great classics and a few originals of her own -- plus a terrific band that will make this album a big seller. Recording quality is superior, clearly a professional production.Her original songs are truly the caliber of the classics, so expect to hear more new material from her over time. Her upbeat and humorous "Girlfriends" song cleverly says it all about women relationships -- what a gift for a girl's girlfriend! "Letting Go" speaks optimism about daring to make changes. Her rendition of "At Last" rivals the very best -- and at last Michele treats us to her great jazz sound!I find this album to be so "listenable" from the first track to the last, it'll just own one slot of my 6 CD changer. And I'll reserve another slot for her next album - bring it on, Michele!
