Written by one of America’s
greatest jazz composers,
the songs range “from low-down blues to novelty patter songs to
heartfelt love
songs to exuberant swing tunes.” Jimi
Ray Malary’s rich baritone, “shaded by a beautifully controlled and
judiciously
applied vibrato, is suave in a way wholly in line with the Dukensian
ideal of
elegance."
