Review: if Ella Fitzgerald could pay like Oscar Peterson, it would sound pretty close to this. Every track is a gem. Some shine brighter than others. The band is stellar. The flugelhorn player is her dad. When she starts to play piano, hang on for a ride.
If You Like: Sarah Vaughn, Art Tatum, Harry James
