O’s Notes: Juanita has been singing gospel since 1997 but she had an enviable career before that including jazz engagements with many legends such as Illinois Jacquet and Thad Jones. She retains a lot of her past experience in her inspirational singing. The program includes a wide variety of styles always inclusive of Fleming’s hearty vocals. “Thank You Lord” will capture the younger audience with soulful music and warmth that resonates. Pianist Alva Nelson arranges and shares production on a solid recording.
