GREAT TRIBUTE TO BOTH PEGGY AND JANET

Reviewer: Ed Goodstein

There're a few Peggy Lee tributes floating around, many very good too..... this album is great: both a really nice salute to a truly great vocalist, and also a fine showcase for Janet’s versatility. Janet doesn't try to imitate Lee: her voice is different if somewhat in the same timbre, but she evokes Peggy's 'cool AND sultry' style and approach very well I think. There is a nice cross section of works. In her own way, I think Janet’s interpretations are as valid as Peggy’s: especially the standout "He's a Tramp." I hope this album turns people on to Peggy, but also hope it'll lead some to explore more of Janet's distinctive work.
