O’s Notes: Keely is an entertainer and she has fun performing. This is very apparent listening to her. This live session is recorded in New York during June 2004. Jerry Vivino assembles and leads a band that is first rate. The program, as the title suggests, recaptures the sound of the Sahara Lounge in Las Vegas. There are a lot of good songs and Keely is soaring, laughing and providing the commentary that keeps the audience engaged.
