O’s Notes: Virginia pours her heart and soul into this one, a collection of freshly arranged classics and one original. She plays with fine accompaniment and allows them to share the spotlight from time to time making this more than a jazzy vocal set. Rodney Jordan (b), Marlon Patton (d) and Kevin Bales (p) are the swinging trio providing a strong foundation. Special guest Melvin Jones plays trumpet on “When I Fall In Love”. Sit back and let the beauty of Virginia’s vocal tones bathe your ears.
