O’s Notes: Laura has a strong theatrical voice and puts it to good use in front of a swinging ensemble. Ron Snyder (p), Jack LeCompte (perc), John Smith (b) and Damon Zick (sax, fl) sound larger than a quartet yet never get in the way of the music. Wolfe sings a dozen standards arranged by Snyder. They range from the happy go lucky spirit of “It’s So Nice To Have A Man Around The House” and “Can’t We Be Friends”, to the soft ballads like “I’ve Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good”. The vocals are so crisp and well articulated; you’ll feel like you at a live stage show.
