O’s Notes: Wesla takes a spin through the Irving Berlin Songbook to bring us seventeen newly arranged gems. Her voice is well articulated and strong alone and with the band based on her roots as a former cabaret singer. Highlights include “Cheek to Cheek”, ” “and the title track. It’s an upbeat, jovial session.
