What can one say about a singer who Ella Fitzgerald described as the best voice of all time? What Sarah does is miraculous. Some of the songs are a bit weak, but, she makes them better and the great songs, she absolutely soars. Her phrasing and incredible range (some say 3 octaves, but, it sounds more like 5) make this album worth every penny. Dreamsville, Slow Hot Wind, Mr. Lucky are, for me, the highlights. There will never be another female singer with a voice like Sarah. This album is a good reminder. ---amazon.com

What a fantastic marriage of musical talents ! How perfect could a collaboration be???? This is really outstanding Sarah on an even higher plane. That Mancini material is all just soooooo delicious and Sarah knows just what to do to make it all so steamy, luscious, whimsical and serenely beautiful. Sarah makes every song lyric important and true......which, is why she could continue forever. From the earliest recordings to her last; she did more than just display the most gorgeous voice in jazz history.....she made every song lyric come alive with personal meaning. I am also a huge fan of Henry Mancini. Naturally, I have a lot to be thankful for ! You will too, when you listen to this wonderful recording. Some of the recordings sound a little muffled and not nearly as crisp as a recording of today's technology. That hasn't stopped me from enjoying it, immensely. You will be astounded, too ! ---Robert O’Neil
