This long overdue release by Marsha DuPree is right on with a terrific collection of jazz standards and outstanding original compositions. Marsha's musical interpretations are both classic and classy. And she's got her inspiration down! From Sam Cooke to Nina Simone, each track is polished to perfection. And, Marsha's original songs are the perfect compliment to a CD filled with timeless compositions. And her immaculate vocals along with an ensemble of superb musicians and you have a collection of engaging and very entertaining classics! Highly recommended.
