Jazz writer Zan Stewart calls vocalist Sandi Shoemake "one of the finest interpreters of jazz ballads anywhere." On this, her second recording as a leader, she is backed by the West Coast Jazz Giants: Andy Martin, trombone; Sam Most, flute; Charlie Shoemake, vibes & piano; Bruce Forman, guitar; Paul Kreibich, drums; with Luther Hughes and the late Bob Maize trading tracks on bass. The program includes "A Rainy Night In Rio," "Lover Come Back To Me," "Sophisticated Lady," "I Have Dreamed," "I Only Have Eyes for You," "You Better Go Now," and five others.
