In stockThe Story
This CD features the late Frank Mantooth's final major project, arranging a dozen love songs for string orchestra with 12 talented female jazz singers. While the performances are touching, especially from Karrin Allyson and Diane Schuur, the overall result is safer and less adventurous than expected, with limited improvisation.
