O’s Notes: Debra’s voice stands out over a fine collection of New York musicians, as a quartet, big band, and orchestra including winds and strings. The program celebrates life (Early Autumn); love pains (Goodbye & La Mer); jazz (Night In Tunisia); and show (My Favorite Things). It’s a first-rate entertaining performance and the debut recording for Holly and for the Metropolitan label featuring jazzy vocals. Please do it again soon!
