Review: Whether or not you’re a vocal fan, here’s an album that is a swinger’s delight. Veronica Swift has a rich, confident and wide ranging voice, and teams it up well with the tenor sax of Jeff Rupert on this collection of standards and originals.
If You Like: Stan Getz, Annie Ross, Ella Fitzgerald, Hot Sardines
