Janis Mann, Live at Spazio 14755 Ventura Blvd Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

Back by Peter Smith (pn),Trevor Ware (bs), Clayton Cameron (dr) "Mann... is owner and operator of a splendid instrument that owes as much to June Christy as it does to Sarah Vaughan. She possesses the unique ability to be simultaneously cool and sultry, to seem as crystalline as Baccarat's finest yet smoky as a Dietrich film festival, and to suggest that she's just stepped out of the 1950s while sounding utterly contemporary.
