Diane Hubka: Look No Further
ByHubka's band includes the fine pianist Frank Kimbrough, who along with guitarist John Hart, provide the harmonic propulsion. Interestingly, the only brass in this merry group is the trombone played by Scott Whitfield. This low brass adds to the mellow relaxed swing of this recording. He solos best on the vocalese 'In Walked John', a tome to the famous tenorist. Hubka does not have a weak moment on this recording. All pieces are sung with equal aplomb. If I had to give an edge to certain songs, Hubka excels on ballads such as 'Baltimore Oriole', but she also burns it up on faster pieces such as 'In Walked John.' Recommended without reservation..
