O’s Notes: Sunny Side is a great but brief, (16-minute) set of five classic tunes. We preferred the mixed vocals starting with the opener “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You”, a duet with Bill Medley, “Straighten up And Fly Right” with Casey Abrams, and “On the Sunny Side of the Street” with Ann Hampton Callaway. Southern vocalist Deborah Silver packs a pleasant punch.
