MARNI NIXON - MARNI NIXON sings CLASSIC KERN
This disc offers more than enough Jerome Kern cuts (21) packed into almost an hour's performance, delivered by vocalist Marni Nixon. She has the tempos, lyrics, spirit, and mood down pat, and doesn't lose any steam or drive regardless of the situation. The band blends strings, keyboards, harp, and reeds, and Gary Foster takes some keen alto sax, clarinet, and flute solos.
