O’s Notes: This ‘Best of’ collection features show style singer Salena Jones backed by a full orchestra with strings. She sings a lot of the classic popular tunes including “Love Is a Many – Splendored Thing” and “Singing In The Rain” as well as a little bossa nova on “Agua de Beber”. Jones also swings on jazz tunes like “Perdido”, “Take The A Train” and big band blues like “Canadian Sunset”. Collectively this is a very entertaining set by an established singer.
