Featuring Lisa Shah’s own songs and several classics from the genre, it is definably gentle listening. Although I had it on as background music, I stopped what I was doing several times, pausing to enjoy the nuances and subtle changes in tempo and the terrific piano pieces and runs. The original songs have depth and timbre —resonance, character, and a unique quality. I found myself engaged in the lyrics while enjoying the rhythm. Highly recommended for those moments when something new and something old flow together to create charming music.
