O’s Notes: Nnenna is one of the established jazz vocalists who continue to thrill audiences with her voice. Better Than Anything is no exception. The song selection includes classics like “Nature Boy”, some Latin on “I Won’t Dance” and some soul with “Ooh Child”. These songs were recorded between 1997 and 2005 so this is a compilation of sorts and a good one. Listen to Freelon’s vocal dance with Take 6 on “Straighten Up and Fly Right” to capture her full essence.
