Marty is equally comfortable with a swinging sevenpiece band as she is with an intimate duo.

HoagyCarmichael’s ‘New Orleans’ starts in a clever, modernized two-step folded into a blues frame, ‘Why Did IChoose You?’ is both romantic and quizzical, and the incredible pretty and dark melody of Don Grolnick’s‘The Cost of Living’ is as stunningly emotional a tango inferred piece as has ever been written. Haden’s‘Chickoree’ is bouncier in midtempo pace, still low key, with Hobgood’s stride flavorings. The tracks withthe wistful Elling include Haden’s famous reflective ballad ‘First Song,’ including the poignant lyric abouta ‘song that lightened up the world, when love was new.’ ‘Stairway to the Stars’ showcases the vocalistsspontaneous quality in elongating phrases, while the Billy Strayhorn - penned waltz ‘Daydream’ has Elling ina deep, midnight blue mood. An excellent recording from start to finish, played with extraordinary intimacy,heart and soul. [Item Code: 64896 CD: $17.00]21 worldsrecords.com (800) 742-6663 January - February 2010 21
