O’s Notes: Jacqui combines sultry country ballads with popping jazz in her own way. The arrangements transform the covers of “Summertime”, “My Funny Valentine” and “How Deep Is Your Love” courtesy of Jon Evans (b), Art Khu (p) and Josh Jones (d). Jacqui sings some pop, blues (“Tell Me More”) and straight-ahead jazz (“This Is The Spot”) over sixteen tracks. We really liked “Black Coffee”, “Losing My Religion” and “Ain’t No Sunshine”. It is a set with something for everyone but all done Jacqui’s way.
