Imagine hearing Etta James for the first time if the only music you had ever heard was the Bangles. Norah Jones would provide a nice bridge between the two. Wesby's most originally composed show case serves as the same bridge between Adult Contemporary and the harder, falling down the steps types of pure jazz presentations. You could almost call this disc jazz, for those that do not like jazz, or better yet, popular music for those that like their music edged with a jazz border. It's a wise purchase.
