O’s Notes: Julia’s sophomore album features eight standards and seven originals. Her voice is delicate, well articulated and fully complimentary with the band. The program gets stronger with each song highlighted by “The Second Time Around”, “The Irises” and “But Beautiful”. The sound is open and clear coming from a quintet that also contributes some nice solos.
