Michelle Conte: Lucky Me!
I tend to favor recordings like Lucky Me! because they illustrate how the American Songbook was envisioned to sound by the composers who contributed to it. I would recommend this disc to all listeners before I would recommend the more exploratory jazz vocalists. Michelle Conte sings in a way that would be pleasing to even the fussiest listener, and her band is without compare. Mark Elf is well known to these pages with many well-received recordings to his credit. His comrades ditto. Just place this disc under the laser, queue up "Until the Right Thing Comes Along" and revel in all that is great about American Music.
