Rose Colella: Cocktail
ByCocktail is an apt title with the inclusion of "One Mint Julep" and "Scotch and Soda" holding down the center of a program populated with after-hours images and sounds. Colella reminds us of the importance of the Benny Goodman vehicle "Flying Home" and starkly quiet "Lonely View." Her duet with Marinaro is nothing but understated fun. They forgo none of the period romance of the old songs in favor of some ill-advised update of the material that lesser talents would attempt. "Let's Misbehave" is a hearty throwback with Colella supplying her own backup vocals while saxophonist Chris Madsen throws a bit of swing into the mix. Cocktail is a durable collection of standards that are well performed and presented.
