With her delicate, fluttery voice (which can also go into overdrive with a very satisfactory belt when required), Gaynor tackles two numbers closely identified with Judy Garland "Gotta Have Me A Go With You" and "Here's What I'm Here For" as well as a lullaby-esque "My Ship" intimately scored with soft, hesitant strings and just the right amount of brass and a gangbusters "Soon" amongst others.By Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/Sings-Lyrics-Gershwin-Mitzi-Gaynor/dp/B002D1GND2

(2:24)  6. Who Can I Turn To

(8:07)  7. One Mint Julep

Rare and groovy work by Barney Kessel originally recorded for a strange subsidiary of Phil Spector's record label! The album's quite different than some of Kessel's other albums of the earlier years recorded live with a gritty feel that's really nice a bit more edge on the strings of the guitar, and a rumbling tone that's a far cry from his lighter work for Contemporary in the 50s. Kessel still retains much of his ability to produce a bell-like tone on the guitar but he rings out with a tremendous amount of force spurred on by the crackling club rhythm section of Jerry Scheff on bass and Frank Capp on drums. Titles include 2 great originals "Slow Burn" and "Sweet Baby" plus an excellent version of "Recado Bossa Nova", and the tunes "The Shadow Of Your Smile", "Just In Time", and "One Mint Julep".  https://www.dustygroove.com/item/735355

Robi Weber’s enthralling soul jazz shows strong influences from the blues, R&B, and gospel and is oriented toward pianists like Les McCann and Gene Harris and, naturally, toward Oscar Peterson’s energetic piano playing. For years he has been regarded as one of Switzerland’s most distinguished and successful jazz pianists, whether as a soloist, in duos, or in his trio with Kalli Gerhards and Curt Treier. In 2009 he received the Swiss Jazz Award. https://www.lucernefestival.ch/en/program/directory-of-artists/robi_weber/2939
