O’s Notes: Ann gives us a cabaret-style, theatrical Holiday recording with You Sleigh Me. Her conversational style puts us on Broadway and in the Christmas mood. The band includes arranger Christopher Denny (p), Mary Ann McSweeney (b), Rex Benincasa (d, perc), Frances Duffy (harp), Eric Allen (cello), Aaron Heick (clarinet), and orchestrator Tom Kochan (harp/cello/clarinet). Kittredge soars of “What The World Needs Now”, our favorite of the eight selections.
