(Alberta Records) I really had to look at the CD information to make sure this was fact a contemporary recording. This double CD set is like a time warp straight from the hey-day of cool jazz. Felicia Carter has an amazing voice that commands your attention and then melts your soul. Everything she sings is in that oh so sweet jazz style where you can feel the sensuality just below the surface. The band backing her up doesn't miss a beat and has such a classic sound you'd swear you were at a dance hall in the 30-40's. This one is going into my personal collection and will be getting quite a bit of play at parties and special occasions. If you want to hear true jazz at its best then get Felicia Carter and let her do the rest.
