One of three releases put out by Rounder that focuses on the modern jazz scene in New Orleans, this set has five numbers apiece by singers Germaine Bazzle (who is backed by a quartet that includes the tenor of Red Tyler) and Lady BJ (who utilizes a quartet with pianist Ellis Marsalis and saxophonist Victor Goines). Neither singer breaks new ground (in fact all ten songs are standards with Betty Carter's "Tight" being the only one not very well-known) but both are adept at swinging and bringing personal interpretations to the familiar material. ~by Scott Yanow
