This Australian CD, ---"Charade"--- is a songbook of 14 Henry Mancini works exquisitely performed by Janet Seidel (vocals), featuring Joe Chindamo on piano, along with David Seidel (double bass), Chuck Morgan (guitar), and Fabian Hevia (drums/percussion). The Mancini songs are pretty well known and are nicely discussed in the liner notes which list the musicians involved with each number, the lyrics of each, and a brief historical discussion for each.

Janet Seidel's singing and interpretation of each number is, of course, crystal clear and (my opinion) very nice, while the piano and the other instruments are very impressive, making the entire CD a very good listen. ~Al/amazon
