With would-be jazz singers appearing daily out of the woodwork, the occasional album from Tina May comes as a particular treat. Along with her other talents, such as writing witty lyrics to established jazz tunes in both English and French she possesses the basic but invaluable gift of swing. Among these dozen numbers is an almost throwaway version of "You Can Depend on Me", sung as a duet with veteran French star Marcel Zanini, which is simply immaculate in this respect. The Paris-based band is most impressive, especially pianist Patrick Villanueva and saxophonist Pascal Gaubert. ~ Dave Gelly  http://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/oct/09/tina-may-hanky-panky-review

May is on stunning form throughout...her vocalese treatment of Dexter Gordon's 'Hanky Panky' highlights her super-fine technical control. ~ Jazzwise, (Peter Quinn), December 2011 / January 2012

  2. Some strange cuts here, but sometimes funny, like her cover of Brigitte Bardot Tu veux ou tu veux pas.
