O’s Notes: These are pleasant tunes, songs we know and enjoy. She opens with Ellington’s classic “It Don’t Mean A Thing” and follows with twelve more classics like “Born To Be Blue” and “Joy Spring” both shadowed by Willy Ingersoll (as). We also liked “Dat Dere” and “Dindi”, a duet with guitarist Chuck Easton who also plays alto sax on a couple of tunes. And Davis not only sings well but also does a fine job scatting. Check out her work on “Scrapple From The Apple/Honeysuckle Rose”. It is a very good set.
