This is a collection of 13 tunes written by the cream of popular songwriters - Irving Berlin, the Gershwin Brothers, and others honoring Fred Astaire's contributions to the vocal art. Kent delivers this selective play list with one of three musical combinations: solo piano with voice, piano plus rhythm with voice, and a larger aggregation which includes sax and guitar. Irrespective of the instrumental context, all of the tunes are delivered with Stacey's pleasant nasal twang to help her create the impression that the lyrics she's singing are part of an intimate one on one conversation with each listener. Kent's pianist, David Newton, is one of the premiere accompanists in the U.K., having worked with such top flight singers as Tina May. Originally released in 2000.

"Enthusiastically recommended."
