O’s Notes: Michelle has a warm rich voice with memorable characteristics like those of a fine, smoky scotch. Jeremy Pelt sets the stage for the session blazing on the intro of “Under A Blanket of Blue”. When Michelle takes the microphone, she’s in command and deliverers a convincing performance on eleven fresh arrangements that play to her strengths. Our favorites are “Stardust”, “Meaning of the Blues”, “He’s My Guy” and “I’m Hip”. Zangara is not overly fleshly but very effective!
