Booklet Notes: There are certain singers, whose activities cover a fairly wide range of jazz and adjoining areas of popular music and who, for the most part, seem content in producing the same level of competence in performance on an indefinite basis. Usually highly competent I'll admit, at times even tinged with real inspiration. Not to be lightly dismissed you may reason. True, except perhaps that all too often they tend to leave the listener with a sneaking suspicion of merely going through the motions.
