O’s Notes: Nancy puts her lullaby style on a dozen Ellington classics. She gets support from bassist Danton Boller, drummer Willie Jones III and chief collaborator, pianist Jeremy Siskind. The band is supported by a strings section on two selections further enhancing the dreamy mood. We especially enjoyed “Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me” and “I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good’. Harms’ soft approach puts a unique twist on timeless classics making Ellington at Night an enjoyable date.
