O’s Notes: Barbara is a classic jazz club singer backed by her swinging trio with Stuart Elster (p), Richard Simon (b) and Lee Spath (d). The venerable Houston Person appears with Morrison again providing warm tenor tone that is full support of every move Barbara makes. This is a seasoned team and while Morrision’s voice is getting a little deeper, she retains good tone and a wealth of heartfelt emotion. Together they deliver a strong set of eleven jazz classics. Of note are “Shiny Stockings”, “Work Song” and “September In The Rain”.
