Daryl Sherman: A Hundred Million Miracles
by Mitchell Seidel
Listening to Daryl Sherman’s cheerful singing on this album, you may find yourself forgetting that she’s also the pianist on the date. That oversight is your misfortune.

Buddy DeFranco with the John Pizzarelli Trio and Butch Miles: Cookin' The Books
by Michael P. Gladstone
How about that? Cookin' The Books provides a positive spin on the current description of corporate greed and deception.
