Fabulous! Hilary is a top-notch jazz songstress and her talent is on full display here, backed by a first-rate trio. Love the scatting and the quotes she slips in.
Wow! Hilary & company take a classic and make it even jazzier with those lovely unexpected twists. This is jazz singing and accompaniment at its best: the sound of surprise.
This night at the Iridium-Really enjoyed listening to your excellent singing and how you changed the notes here and there on all these great standards. You are so talented.
Hi, Hilary!. I'm a pro jazz multiinstrumentalist, composer, arranger and educator at the College of Music from the National University of Asunción, Paraguay. In my youthful years, I taught a young Paraguayan kid that had recently arrived from Buenos Aires, Mr Mario Rodríguez, bassist. I have recently praised your singing, musicianship at the piano and arranging, and to my surprise he told me you both know each other and even worked together. Furthermore, your husband, superb composer/arranger Richard De Rosa played here in Asunción in the 90s, as Gerry Mulligan's drummer. I nearly recall talking to him, and he already mentioned that his real thing was arranging and composing. I'm a huge fan of you both, particularly Richard's conducting the extraordinary WDR Jazz Big Band. 🤳 All the best to you! Carlos Schvartzman 🇪🇬🎹
Good performance but I unfortunately listened to this AFTER I listened to Carmen Mcrae sing it so although I appreciated her performance she just can't beat the great Carmen Mcrae!
