O’s Notes: Nina has a strong and well-articulated voice. It is polished from years on Broadway in Bye Bye Birdie! She teamed with co-producers Ray Marchica (d, perc, bkrd vocals) and Jeff Ganz (b, bkrd vocals) to present a warm collection of 15 standards. They take their time to deliver the message. Musical director Don Rebic plays piano and Sean Harkness plays guitars to round out the band. We liked the duets: “Willow Weep For Me” with Ganz; “Without A Song” with Harkness; and “Temporary” with Rebic.
