Review: Stanley makes no effort to imitate Julie London. Rather, she celebrates her creative spirit with a creative spirit of her own. What is guaranteed is the honest authenticity of straight arrangements conceived on the fly. None of the songs presented on the recording are a mystery, but it is in the arrangements where the new and novel is introduced.
