O’s Notes: Nancy sings with a sense of urgency, with lots of expression and inflection. She invites Houston Person to shadow her on sax and they have a program of a dozen standards that ooze out of our speakers. Among the highlights are “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To” with a nice bass solo from Neal Miner, “Let Me Off Uptown” and the warm bossa nova beats of “I’ll Be Seeing You”.
