Just listened to this album, newly released on 2 lps from Pure Pleasure. IMO this is one of her best yet, both in terms of choice of songs and sound. The sound really is stunning here, similar to Al Schmitts engineering for Diane Krall, very up-front with just a bit of echo. If you have a vivid imagination, you could just about put your arms around her. Unlike, Krall, who I like also, Kent has real vocal chops, a voice, at once childlike but also sophisticated, which I find very appealing and easy on the ears.Fro Kent fans, this is an absolute winner.
