By saying that Molly Johnson knows all the other idioms of popular music today, one might nearly lose sight of the fact that she is a jazz singer. Here she is coming home again, with a dozen major standards: compositions by the greatest jazzmen, tunes from musical comedy that have become playing fields for the great voices, but also a few surprises which say quite a bit about the taste and the sense of humour of this beautiful Canadian woman of mixed race origins. Behind her, with her, around her, is her stage trio, which is now reaching the summits… to the point in fact that it plays four parts, since pianist Phil Dwyer also takes over the tenor saxophone. Let us follow her in her exploration of the most enchanted repertoire in jazz…

Molly Johnson – Vocals; Mark McLean – Drums, Percussion, and Glockenspiel; Mike Downes – Bass; Phil Dwyer – Piano, Tenor Saxophone; Ben Riley – Drums (on Solitude, Lush Life, and Mean to Me).
