O’s Notes: Mandy has a soft youthful voice and a very delicate approach. Her pitch is excellent and she is gentle with her delivery as she feels each and every note. Harvey is a special woman in her early 20s having lost her hearing gradually over the last decade. She isn’t looking for sympathy and performs well on any measure. For Smile she sings sixteen popular jazz standards with a folksy tilt. Highlights are “At Last”, “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”. These are very unique arrangements of classic tunes with rich accompaniment from her band. We found it to be pleasurable.
